The Federal Medical Center (FMC) Kafanchan has taken a crucial step forward as a bill for its establishment successfully passed the first reading.

The bill, initiated by Sen Sunday Marshall Katung of the PDP representing Kaduna South, aims to amend the Federal Medical Centres Act, 2022, paving the way for the establishment of FMC Kafanchan.

This legislative endeavour seeks to provide a robust legal framework for the centre’s establishment, addressing the healthcare needs of the people in Southern Kaduna and neighbouring regions, thus alleviating their struggles in accessing tertiary healthcare services.

Addressing a Long-standing Need
For years, the communities in Southern Kaduna and adjacent areas have clamoured for a federal medical centre to serve their health requirements in and around Kafanchan, situated within the Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Despite previous attempts, these aspirations remained unfulfilled due to procedural hurdles and changes in government.

Bridging Healthcare Disparities
Unlike other regions that boast similar healthcare facilities, Southern Kaduna and neighbouring communities have been conspicuously left out, devoid of the benefits associated with a federal medical centre.

The proposed establishment of FMC Kafanchan aims to rectify this imbalance, ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare services for millions of residents.

The bill championing the establishment of FMC Kafanchan, spearheaded by Sen Sunday Katung and supported by Senate leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, marks a pivotal moment in addressing the healthcare deficit in the region.
