Kaduna Community in Crisis as Only Health Centre Collapses, Leaving Over 1,000 Residents Without Care
Ganuwa, a rural community in Danmahawayi Ward, Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, is facing a severe health crisis as its only primary health centre lies in total ruin. The clinic, once a lifeline for over 1,000 residents, now stands abandoned — without a roof, staff, or medical equipment.
According to Monitng, a civic tech platform, residents say the facility's collapse has forced people to travel long distances to the Giwa LGA headquarters for medical care. For many, especially pregnant women, children, and the elderly, the cost and time make that journey nearly impossible — often with deadly consequences.
"People are suffering. When emergencies happen, they have nowhere to go," Monitng reported. "It’s a daily risk to life.”
Despite several appeals to local authorities and the state assembly, residents say no action has been taken. They are now calling on Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to urgently intervene.
“It’s heartbreaking,” the report added, “that despite billions allocated to healthcare in Kaduna State and support from international partners like @gatesfoundation, @Gavi, @UNICEF_Nigeria, and @USAIDNigeria, communities like Ganuwa are still abandoned.”
The people of Ganuwa are demanding the immediate rebuilding and proper equipping of a standard Primary Health Centre, emphasizing that this is not a call for luxury — but a plea for survival and dignity.
