Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, visited wounded Nigerian soldiers at the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna State.
- According to a report on the official website of the Duke of Sussex, he toured the hospital facilities with the Chief Medical Director, Col. NS Onuchukwu.
The report partly read;
“Designed to help wounded servicemen and women recover after injury, the hospital includes a leading physiotherapy gym and a high-tech prosthetics lab which offers state-of-the-art replacements to those who have lost limbs – a donation offered by Germany that has been transformational for on-site prosthetic fittings.
“Prince Harry met up with around 50 courageous soldiers across two wards, hearing about their stories of service and sacrifice and wishing them all a speedy recovery. Two of the men he had seen at last year’s Invictus Games, and their smiles were a reminder that what they’d seen was possible post-injury.
“Prince Harry was especially pleased to be able to congratulate Princess Owowoh in person since her graduation from The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, traveled to Kaduna State on Friday. Governor Uba Sani warmly received them and presented the Duke with traditional Hausa attire and photo frames featuring the prince with his late mother, Princess Diana, and another with his wife.
The royal couple’s visit to Nigeria aimed to raise awareness for the Invictus Games, a project initiated by Prince Harry to aid in the recovery of injured and ill service members and veterans. This includes support for Nigerian soldiers who have been involved in a 14-year battle against Islamic extremists.
