Yusuf enrolls 300,000 vulnerable Kano residents into ”AbbaCare”
By Aminu Garko
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has launched the Abba Care Initiative with the enrollment of over 300,000 individuals in a free health insurance scheme.
The initiative, according to his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, is aimed at enhancing healthcare access for the state’s most vulnerable populations.
He listed the beneficiaries to include pregnant women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, inmates in correctional facilities and individuals living with sickle cell anemia.
Bature said the initiative was fully funded and managed by the Kano State Contributory Health Management Agency (KCHMA).
He said that it was designed to ensure that marginalised groups access free quality healthcare services in designated facilities across the state.
According to Bature, the Governor described the programme as a cornerstone of his administration’s vision for inclusive governance.
He said the governor reaffirmed his commitment to the health and wellbeing of Kano’s underprivileged residents.
“This bold initiative marks a significant step towards achieving universal healthcare coverage and improving the quality of life for the people of Kano State,” he added.( NAN (www.nannews.ng)
