Wurno Government Secondary School Clinic in Sokoto State lies in ruins, a hollow shell where healthcare has all but vanished.
There are no beds for the sick, no water for basic hygiene, and no power to run even the simplest equipment. The roof sags with decay, the toilet is a festering wreck, and the absence of a perimeter fence leaves the crumbling structure exposed.
Serving three communities and over 300 patients yearly, this clinic teeters on the edge of collapse, abandoned by those who could save it.
Step inside, and the despair deepens. Patients shuffle in to find no hospital beds, no waiting area, and no pharmacy—just empty shelves where syringes, bandages, gloves, and disinfectants should be.
A single doctor and a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW) fight to help, but with no resources, their hands are tied. Leaking roofs drip onto decayed medical records, broken ceilings threaten to fall, and the building itself feels like a hazard. Care here isn’t just limited; it’s a mirage.
CheckMyPHC, a civic-tech tool from Orodata Science, reveals Wurno GSS Clinic as a grim snapshot of Nigeria’s rural healthcare crisis.
With no functioning infrastructure, patients are shunted to distant hospitals already stretched thin. Immunizations falter, and treatment is a fiction—health has become a roll of the dice.
This isn’t just a failing clinic; it’s a community left to fend for itself.
“Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto of Sokoto State, Chairman of Wurno Local Government Honorable Abba Isah Sadiq Achida—this is your community, these are your people.
“Their healthcare facility is crumbling, and their lives are at risk. Rebuild Wurno GSS Clinic. Provide water, power, medical supplies, and essential staff.
“Restore dignity and hope where it has been lost. This is not just a plea—it is a necessity. Act now,” Orodata urges.
