Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has acknowledged the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for enhancing rural healthcare via its Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers (HIRD). The commendation was made during the swearing-in of 2026 Batch A Stream II corps members deployed to Rivers State, held in Nonwa-Gbam, Tai Local Government Area.
The recognition of NYSC's HIRD programme highlights the role corps members play in extending medical services to underserved rural communities in Rivers State. Students pursuing medical and allied health courses should consider rural deployment during NYSC as an opportunity to gain field experience and contribute to community health access.
