In a heartwarming development, a resident of Ekiti State welcomed a beautiful baby girl on Wednesday at the Oba Adejugbe Hospital, Agric Olope, Ado Ekiti. Both mother and child are hale and hearty, thanks to the comprehensive healthcare coverage provided by the Ekiti State Government under the leadership of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. This event emphasizes the governor’s unwavering commitment to improving healthcare across the state.
The birth of a child is a joyous occasion worldwide, but the financial burden associated with childbirth, especially cesarean sections, can be daunting for many families. However, in Ekiti State, the scenario is different. The free health scheme, initiated during Governor Kayode Fayemi’s tenure and sustained by Governor Oyebanji’s administration, continues to provide much-needed relief to expectant parents.
Governor Oyebanji’s administration has further enhanced the free health scheme by investing massively in the renovation of general hospitals and primary healthcare centers across the state. This includes recruiting qualified healthcare professionals and equipping facilities with state-of-the-art medical equipment, such as the mammogram at the Ekiti State Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) for early cancer detection in women.
The free health scheme extends its benefits to children aged 0-5 years, the elderly, and people with disabilities (PWDs) in the state. Records indicate that nearly two thousand PWDs have already benefited from this scheme, with more expected to join. Governor Oyebanji’s deliberate and strategic moves demonstrate his commitment to inclusive healthcare for all residents.
As a beneficiary of this scheme, the resident can attest to its effectiveness. The delivery of his child incurred no costs beyond the standard child delivery list. For expectant fathers worried about delivery costs, especially in cases of cesarean sections or breech pregnancies, the free health scheme offers a lifeline.
To qualify, ensure your wife is registered at the nearest primary healthcare center, attends routine maternity meetings, cooperates with healthcare providers, and prepares the baby list. Rest assured, all expenses, including those for operations, are covered—this is the magic of Governor Oyebanji’s administration.
The services also covers any complications that might arise after delivery of the baby. Part of requirements includes registering for the freehealth scheme, getting the code and submitting your National Identification Number NIN through which the helpline will be channeled all EXPENSES PAID.
The overwhelming experience of receiving free prescriptions and delivery services highlights the success of Ekiti State’s free health scheme. Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s commitment to healthcare continues to make a significant impact on the lives of residents, ensuring delivery with ease and peace of mind.
