Kaduna: Uba Sani Expands Healthcare for the Vulnerable

Governor Uba Sani has expanded access to healthcare in Kaduna State with the enrolment of more than 15,000 vulnerable residents into the state’s Health Insurance Scheme.

Speaking at the distribution of ID cards to pregnant women and children under five, the governor — represented by Deputy Governor Dr. Hadiza Balarabe — said his administration believes that “no citizen should be left behind, no community should be overlooked, and no life should be lost simply because they cannot afford care.”

Since assuming office, Sani said his mission has been to “bring healthcare closer, make healthcare cheaper, and ensure healthcare is better.” He noted that his administration has revitalised primary health centres and general hospitals, equipping, staffing, and powering them to strengthen service delivery.

According to the governor, these investments are “translating to women who can deliver safely, children who can grow healthy, and families who no longer fear medical bills pushing them into poverty.”

He credited this progress to strong partnerships between government, development agencies, and communities, commending UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and especially the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), which directly enrolled over 20,000 vulnerable people — mostly women — into the scheme.
