Iburu ClinicServing Full-time, 365 days a year, since July 2016.
“In 2023, we served 616 patients at Iburu. Due to security problems, we had not had a resident doctor here for the past three years and we are only able to be open for daylight hours. We are hoping and praying for better days ahead.” |

History
|
Full official name of the clinic is The Nancy Mason Memorial Clinic at Iburu. Funds to build this clinic were donated by the family of Nancy Mason in her memory. Nancy was a school nurse who spent her life serving children. When she was a child, she dreamed of being a missionary nurse, but never realized her dream due to early marriage and children. After she died of cancer at a relatively young age, here family wished to donate the cost of this clinic in her memory.

The land for this clinic was donated to the Anglican Diocese of Kaduna by the local Muslim village chief with the provision that the diocese would build a medical clinic here. The chief had lost his own daughter due to a lack of medical care in the village. He donated the land to insure that others would have medical help when they needed it.
Our Local Partners
After many years of partnership with The Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, we decided to commit to this new venture in 2012. It took four years to get the construction planned and completed, and we began operations in July of 2016.

In addition to Dr. Danhunse, we now have two nurses, one mid-wife and a part-time lab technician serving here at Iburu.

It took nearly another year to find a full-time doctor willing to serve in this rural area. In June of 2017, we hired Dr. Abel Danhunsa as our first full-time doctor. Below are Dr.Abel Danhunsa (left) and Dr. Adekunle Alao (right) who is the Chief Medical Officer for the Diocese of Kaduna.

NOTE: Iburu have been hampered by extreme security problems. We have had trouble keeping doctors at these clinics and nurses are running the clinics. We have had to restrict our services to daylight hours only. Consequently, our patient numbers have dropped in the past year. But we hope and pray for better days ahead. We are not giving up. We will continue to serve the needy people in these areas.
