FCT, Abuja – In a powerful move, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government has announced that Cesarean Sections will now be FREE for all Nigerian women who need them.
The Coordinating Minister for Health made this known on Thursday, November 7, via a post shared on his X page.
According to the post accompanied by pictures, Pate emphasized:
“No woman should lose her life simply because she can’t afford a C-section.”
This came as Prof. Pate launched the Maternal Mortality Reduction Initiative (MAMII), a groundbreaking effort by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare aimed at tackling Nigeria’s critical maternal and neonatal mortality rates—among the highest globally. Through #MAMII, access to affordable, quality healthcare for mothers and newborns will be prioritized, focusing on primary health services and community involvement. 💪👶
Major commitments came from key partners:
HRH Dr. Haliru Yahaya, Emir of Shonga – “Traditional institutions and communities are at the heart of health reforms. We’re fully in!”
Oyebanji Filani @okeanaye, Chairman , Nigeria Health Commissioners Forum– “MAMII is a marathon, not a sprint! Health commissioners are ALL IN for implementation.”
Hon. Engr. Bello Lawal, ALGON President – “We’re aligning with the Federal Government to ensure grassroots support. Full steam ahead!”
@WHONigeria Country Rep @WMulombo – “If implemented right, this initiative will deliver. We’re here to support every step of the way!”
@WorldBankAfrica Trina Haque, Practice Manager– “MAMII is a game-changer! We’re committed to funding and expertise. Let’s close the gaps!”
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation – “Exciting progress! We’re dedicated to making maternal and child health a priority.”
Together, we’re building a future where every Nigerian mother and child can thrive. Join us in spreading the word!
