By Jerry Jatdul

In its quest to improve health sector in the state and preparation for its national convention, the Dengi Old Students Association DOSA, has donated hospital equipments to the Plateau Specialists Hospital Jos, worth millions of naira as part of its programmes of events for their 2022 National Convention to improve medical services in the state.


The event took place on Friday September 23rd, 2022, at the Conference Hall of Robert Garlow House, Plateau State Human Virology Research Centre (PLASVIREC) in the Plateau Specialists Hospital Jos.

While presenting the equipments, the National President of Dengi Old Students Association, His Excellency, Professor Abdullahi Shehu Yibaikwal, said, "as you know, this is an old students association, but we are very ambitious and we have a vision. Our vision is to impact lives and we recognize what the government has given us and we felt we have a responsibility to give back to the society what government has given us.
"So we organised this visit to the hospital as a symbolic gesture to commend the government for what they are doing in this direction and to call the attention of the health sector in particular and to the Specialists Hospital in Jos so that, the services of this hospital can impact our people not only in Plateau State, but Nigeria as a whole.


He further added that, "The spirit behind what we done is more important than the amount we sank here because even we had brought one billion naira here, it is meaningless to say it, since we did not do it for publicity. We did it with good intention to draw attention so that, other people should do what we have done and they can even do better", he said.


Yibaikwal, called on government and the private sector as well as spirited individuals who felt and were concerned about the health of their people should contribute even little because health is wealth and sympathize with the situation being faced in this Specialists Hospital no matter how small.


 Appreciating DOSA for the kind gesture, the Chief Medical Director of Plateau Specialists Hospital Jos, Dr. Filimon Golwa, said this was the first time an association such as this was donating to the hospital saying, "whoever invest in humanity, invest in God”.
