The federal government through its humanitarian agency, the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), has given N30 million to the
University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) to boost timely
response to medical cases of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and
victims of Boko Haram attacks in Borno State.
The agency
also disclosed that a plan was underway to extend similar gesture to
other major hospitals in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, which have
had to treat the victims of insurgency in the area.
Speaking at a press briefing of the stakeholders in emergency
management in Maiduguri, the North-east Zonal Coordinator of NEMA,
Alhaji Mohammed Kanar, said the agency "is supporting the Borno State
Government to pay the medical bills of referral medical cases of
vulnerable IDPs from camps and victims of bomb blasts."
