SURE-P health scheme supports 350 pregnant Kwara women
The Zonal Technical Officer, Primary Health Care Development Agency, Mrs Titilayo Amudipe, on Thursday said more than 350 pregnant women benefited from the free health care services of SURE-P in Kwara State.
Amudipe said this in Ilorin at an advocacy programme to reduce maternal mortality rate in the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the meeting, which was convened at the instance of SURE-P, North Central Zone, was attended by stakeholders and representatives of various women organisations in the state.
Amudipe, however, said only six local government areas were currently benefiting from the initiative.
She identified the local governments as Ilorin East, Asa, Moro, Ekiti, Oke-Ero and Kaiama.
Amudipe, however, expressed optimism that the programme would be extended to the remaining 10 councils in the state.
The Zonal Technical Officer called on the benefiting councils to desist from levying pregnant women visiting the hospitals.
She also advised more pregnant women to register with health centres providing free treatment, stating that adequate drugs and other materials were in abundance.
Delivering a keynote address, the Executive Director, Maiyarwuya Nigeria Limited, Alhaji Adamu Yussuf, called on wives of local government chairmen to ensure that trained health attendants were posted to the grassroots.
Yussuf also urged them to promote the formulation and implementation of bye-laws that would enhance the wellbeing of women and children.
