MEDICAL VOLUNTEERISM
She was also variously engaged in medical volunteerism at different locations in Nigeria and
around the world. In September 2006, she volunteered at the Wythenshawe Hospital in
Manchester. The opportunity to serve at this hospital greatly improved her communication skills and gave her valuable insights into ward-based care. Her productive two-week placement at the National Hospital for Women and Children, Abuja with a week each in General Surgery and General Medicine also heightened her passion for volunteerism. For two years (2017- 2019), Dr. Dikko also worked with the Medical Team at the International Center for Islamic Culture and Education (ICICE), Abuja.
