The Health and Human Services Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration has launched free antenatal care and health insurance for pregnant women for one year.
The initiative was unveiled by the Mandate Secretary, FCTA Health Services and Environment Secretariat, Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, as part of activities to mark the first anniversary of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
Fasawe disclosed that the initiative, tagged the Renewed Hope Free Medical Outreach, was designed for the poorest of the poor in Abuja’s rural communities.
The mandate secretary, who visited the Palace of the Gomo of Kuje, Haruna Jubrin, and the Council’s Secretariat, to sensitise the people for the outreach scheduled to begin today, warned against a hijack of the outreach by privileged persons, while appealing to them to allow the vulnerable residents benefit from the initiative.
She further revealed that there will also be free eye, dental and other health services, as well as the provision of minor surgeries for the people.
