The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund UNICEF, gave a new hospital to the Borno State government. It’s called a Primary Health Care Clinic, and it’s in the hajj camp in Konduga local government area.
This hospital will help children and families who are affected by fighting. UNICEF’s head in Borno, Ms Phuong Nguyen, said the hospital and medical supplies cost more than $179,000. This hospital will make it easier for people to get good health care.
The money to build the hospital came from the German Development Bank. The hospital has things like beds for women to give birth, tables for changing babies, and other things to help sick people.
Ms Nguyen said the hospital will make it easier for babies, pregnant women, and children to get good care. She said it will also have solar power so it can work all the time, even if the power goes out.
In 2024, many hospitals in North-East Nigeria were destroyed or not working. There weren’t enough doctors, equipment, or medicine to help people.
The hajj camp was sometimes very crowded, with more than 22,000 people. Sometimes, there were outbreaks of diseases like measles and cholera, especially affecting women and children.
UNICEF built this hospital to help the government of Borno State. They want to make sure that all children and women can be healthy and reach their goals in life.
