The Kano State, Governor Abba Yusuf, on Monday, unveiled the Abba Care Initiative by enrolling over 300,000 individuals in a free health insurance scheme.
The governor’s spokesman, Sanusi Bature, who confirmed the development in a press statement, outlined the beneficiaries to include pregnant women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, inmates in correctional facilities, and individuals living with sickle cell anemia.
The initiative fully funded and managed by the Kano State Contributory Health Management Agency is designed to ensure access of marginalised groups to quality healthcare services at no cost in designated facilities across the state.”
Yusuf described the programme as a cornerstone of his administration’s vision for inclusive governance, reaffirming his commitment to the health and welfare of Kano’s underprivileged citizens.
This bold initiative marks a bold and significant step toward achieving universal healthcare coverage and improving the quality of life for the good people of Kano.
