Foundation enrolls 200 less privileged into Health Insurance Scheme in Kaduna

In a benevolent move aimed at enhancing accessibility to healthcare for the less privileged, especially women and children, a foundation has enrolled 200 beneficiaries in the free Kaduna State Contributory Health Insurance Scheme.

The beneficiaries, who are mostly less privileged, were carefully selected across the four chiefdoms of Jaba, Kagoma, Barde, and Bajju in the southern Kaduna senatorial zone.

Spearheaded by Caleb Danladi, he said the foundation underscores the commitment to improving the welfare and health outcomes of vulnerable populations within Kaduna State.

Most of the beneficiaries identified for enrollment belong to socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, where access to quality healthcare services is often limited.

Also speaking,the Director General of the Kaduna State Contributory Health Management Agency (KADCHMA), Alhaji Abubakar Hassan, expressed gratitude towards the Caleb Danladi Foundation for its proactive efforts in addressing healthcare disparities.

Represented by the Director of Administration and Finance, Suleiman Mustapha, he called on privileged Nigerians to take the footstep of the foundation towards realising a society where the poor can also have better health care services.

He said the initiative not only provides immediate relief to the beneficiaries but also sets a precedent for collaborative efforts between non-governmental organisations and government agencies to tackle pressing social issues such as healthcare access.

“It is hoped that this partnership will serve as a model for future endeavours aimed at uplifting underserved communities across Kaduna State.”

In a good will message, the Bishop of the Anglican Communion, Kwoi Diocese, Paul Samuel Zamani, described the effort of the foundation as a welcome development that would give the beneficiaries a greater sense of belonging and commended the founder, Caleb Danladi Bako, for having the less privileged at heart.
