Rafin Kirya Clinic in Kebbi State Faces Dire Healthcare Crisis

A recent inspection by civic organization MoniTNG has revealed severe neglect at the Primary Health Clinic in Rafin Kirya, Shanga Local Government Area, Kebbi State, raising alarms about the state of healthcare in rural areas across the region. 

The clinic's conditions are appalling, with patients left to lie on bare floors due to the absence of mattresses or bedding, while essential supplies such as medications, electricity, and clean water are all missing.

The facility's ceilings are damaged, leaving medical wards exposed to rain, and the clinic’s only water source, a shallow well, dries up during the dry season, leaving the clinic without water for months.
