The Nigerian Foundation for the Support of Victims of Terrorism, otherwise called Victims’ Support Funds (VSF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with three hospitals for the treatment and care of terror victims in Borno and Yobe States.
During the signing of the agreement in Maiduguri and Damaturu earlier in the week, the Executive Director of the Foundation, Prof. Sunday Abogonye Ochoche, gave a cheque of N20 million each to the three hospitals.
The benefiting hospitals are – the Borno State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri; the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the Gen. Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital, Damaturu, Yobe State.
Prof. Ochoche urged the management of the hospitals to use the funds for the care of terror victims in the states.
“We at the Victims Support Funds are aware that we cannot meet all the challenges that your hospitals face in the treatment of victims of terror attacks. However, the presentation that we are making is to assist you deliver better services to victims of terror attacks that are usually brought to your hospitals.
“We are aware that over time when these attacks occur, your facilities are over-stretched and therefore this kind of support is crucial for the provision of equipment, drugs and facilitates for improved service delivery to the victims.”
