One of the beneficiaries, Yusuf Isah, who sustained a severe leg injury in a road traffic accident, successfully underwent a life-saving leg amputation after specialist evaluation confirmed that the procedure was necessary to save his life and prevent further complications. He is currently recovering under close medical supervision.

Speaking on the intervention, the Executive Secretary, Dr. Rahila Aliyu Muktar, reaffirmed KSCHMA’s commitment to providing timely emergency response, effective referral coordination, and sustained follow-up for patients requiring specialist care.
She stated that the interventions reflect the healthcare vision of His Excellency, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, under the Kano First Agenda, which prioritizes accessible, equitable, and people-centered healthcare while ensuring that no resident is denied life-saving treatment.
Dr. Rahila also commended the Zonal Medical Director of Sir Muhammad Sunusi Specialist Hospital, Dr. Usman Tijjani Aliyu, for his unwavering support to the KSCHMA Rapid Response Team and his commitment to strengthening emergency referral services and specialist healthcare delivery across Kano State.
