Bisina SomtoThe Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has introduced a new initiative by the Federal Government to provide monthly health insurance of N200 to 37,000 women across Nigeria. This move, she claims, is designed to enhance women’s access to needed healthcare services.
Speaking to the press in Abuja, Kennedy-Ohanenye emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting women’s health, aligning the initiative with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The health insurance scheme, amounting to N2,400 annually, will be facilitated in collaboration with PLUG, a microfinance bank.
