Foundation enrols 300 residents into Kaduna health scheme

An NGO, Caleb Danladi Foundation, has enrolled 300 indigent residents of Kwoi in Jaba Local Government Area into the Kaduna State Contributory Health Scheme.
Inaugurating the enrollment on Saturday, founder of the foundation, Caleb Bako, said the initiative was part of the foundation’s commitment to alleviating the burden of healthcare costs among vulnerable groups.
Mr Bako emphasised the importance of universal healthcare access, especially for the poor and underserved.
“Our goal is to bridge the gap in access to healthcare for the less privileged in our communities.
“No one should be left to suffer simply because they cannot afford medical attention,” he added.
The director general of the Kaduna State Health Management Authority (KADCHMA), Abubakar Hassan, described the gesture as a model for other well-meaning individuals and organisations to emulate.
Represented by Suleiman Abubakar, KADCHMA’s head of administration and finance, he noted that the scheme was designed to ensure that all citizens of Kaduna State could access quality healthcare.
Also speaking, Rev. Jerry Andrew, national president of the Ham Development Association, described the initiative as a step in the right direction for the Ham people.
He urged other elites from the region to follow suit in supporting development-oriented efforts.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke expressed gratitude to the foundation for coming to their aid.
The health scheme offers a basic health package covering both preventive and curative services for enrollees across accredited public and private health facilities in the state.
