About TY Danjuma Foundation Medical Centre
In line with its vision of providing access to quality healthcare delivery, the TY Danjuma Foundation collaborated with Development Africa; a charity and international non-governmental organization, to develop a modern, sustainable, and specialized mother and child facility, Children’s Hospital, and Eye hospital in Takum Local Government, Taraba State.
The TY Danjuma Foundation Medical Centre comprises the Rufkatu Danjuma Medical Center (RDM), Kuru Danjuma Hospital for Children (KDHC), and Daisy Danjuma Eye Hospital (DDEH). They are specialized medical facilities that are providing advanced maternal, new-born, and childcare to the most vulnerable people in Takum, Taraba State, and in surrounding areas, thereby improving maternal and infant morbidity and mortality indices in this part of the country. These facilities are projects of the TY Danjuma Foundation and are managed and operated by Development Africa.
Rufkatu Danjuma Maternity
The project commenced on October 24,
The primary aim of the RDM is to provide enhanced service delivery of maternal and perinatal healthcare to Takum Local Government and surrounding communities. The Centre will strengthen already existing health systems within the Local Government and the state as a whole by providing the following services; maternal and child care, family planning, control of sexually transmitted infections, and management of common diseases in adults and children. In addition, the RDM boasts of a 24-hour ambulance service.
The Center has residential quarters for doctors and nurses to ensure the availability of health personnel at the Center 24 hours a day. It also has a solar system to provide power backup to RDM. The facility also boasts an industrial borehole, accompanied by a water treatment facility.
This project not only contributes to addressing the challenges of maternal and child mortality and morbidity in and around
Kuru Danjuma Hospital for Children
The Kuru Danjuma Hospital for Children (KDHC) plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless and efficient transfer from the earliest moments of new-born care at the RDM to the paediatric phase of care which continues at the KDHC. Staff at the KDHC work to achieve sustained paediatric and child healthcare from beyond the neonatal period
through all the years of the paediatric period and into late adolescence.
Paediatric services provided at the KDHC include treatment for a wide range of childhood ailments, as well as surgical and other emergency interventions when necessary. The addition in 2021 of the paediatric services provided by the KDHC to the obstetrics and gynaecology services already being provided by the RDM has greatly increased
the confidence of members of the community in the expanded facility. This is because they can now get premium gynaecological, maternal/obstetric,
neonatal, child and adolescent care from the same facility
