ARD BUILDING: A Dream Nearing Fruition

The leadership of ARD ATBUTH, under the stewardship of Dr. Salisu Muhammad Mukhtar, has taken significant steps towards the completion of the ARD Building within the hospital premises, a longstanding dream shared by every member of our great association.

As part of efforts to actualize this vision, the administration has embarked on several solicitation visits to highly placed individuals within the political landscape of Bauchi State. These engagements have yielded encouraging pledges of financial support towards the completion of the project.

During the just concluded OGM, the President has assured members that before the end of his tenure, the ARD Building project will attain a significant stage of completion and move closer to full fruition. He reiterated that the immense sacrifices, unwavering support, and of members remain his greatest source of motivation in ensuring the successful delivery of this important legacy project.

Indeed, the progress recorded so far is a testament to what can be achieved through visionary leadership, collective commitment, and unity of purpose.

WORLD SICKLE CELL DISEASE DAY 2026

The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), ATBUTH Bauchi, ably led by Dr. Salisu Muhammad Mukhtar, joins the global community in commemorating World Sickle Cell Disease Day 2026, a day dedicated to raising awareness, promoting understanding, and supporting individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).

Sickle Cell Disease remains a major public health challenge, particularly in Nigeria, where many individuals continue to bear the physical, emotional, and socioeconomic burdens associated with the condition. Nevertheless, through increased awareness, early diagnosis, improved access to quality healthcare, and informed marital decisions, we can significantly reduce the impact of the disease on our communities.

This year’s theme, “Together for Sickle Cell Disease: Unite, Understand, and Support,” serves as a powerful reminder that addressing SCD is a shared responsibility. It calls on healthcare professionals, policymakers, community leaders, families, and the general public to work together in fostering a more supportive and inclusive environment for those living with the disease.

As we commemorate this important day, let us continue to promote genotype awareness, encourage newborn and early screening, support research initiatives, and advocate for policies that improve the quality of life of individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease.

Together, we can build a future where every person affected by SCD has the opportunity to live a healthier, fuller, and more productive life.
