“We have a medical facility and it has a operating theatre. I have directed my medical team to make the place ready for surgery cases.”

Femi Folaranmi, Yenagoa

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has deployed a special medical team to flooded communities in Bayelsa and Delta states to offer free medical assistance.

Several communities in Sagbama, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Yenagoa, Southern Ijaw, Ekeremor and Ogbia have been badly affected by the flood, with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) disclosing that 150,000 people have been displaced in the state.

Governor Henry Seriake Dickson had recently appealed for help from the Federal Government wondering why Bayelsa was omitted from the list of states the federal government declared flood emergency.

Abubakar, who disclosed the deployment of the medical team in Yenagoa on Thursday during the flag off of the free medical outreach programme at the Internally Displaced Camp (IDP) for flood victims, said the medical team are to tackle diseases associated with flood disaster.

The CAS represented by the Air Officer Commanding, Mobility Command, Air Vice-Marshall Napoleon Bali said adequate arrangements have also been made to carry out emergency surgeries for victims.

“This is one of the medical outreach programme initiated by the Chief of Air Staff and is being conducted all over the country since the beginning of flood. Flood disaster is not peculiar to Bayelsa state. It is in line with Nigerian Air Force Corporate Social Responsibility, especially our immediate environment, that this medical outreach is designed to help the unhealthy condition of flood victims in Bayelsa state who by no cause of their own might have contacted one disease or the other associated with the flood disaster. Some of these diseases include typhoid fever, malaria, cholera, dysentery. Consequently, a team of NAF headquarters is here in one of the camps to render medical services to victims of the recent flood disaster. We are planning for five days after we would assess the situation. We have made adequate arrangements for surgery. We have a medical facility which is 500 meters from here and it has a operating theatre. I have directed my medical team to make the place ready for surgery cases.”

Bali, conveying Abubakar’s commendation of Dickson’s ”pragmatic leadership and love of his people”, made assurances that the Nigerian Air Force would continue to render help to the state government to ameliorate the suffering of flood victims.
