Anambra Pregnant Women To Enjoy Free Antenatal

Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has directed that all pregnant women registered in government hospitals and health centers across the state are to enjoy free antenatal and delivery services.

Soludo gave the directive at Nnobi General Hospital in Idemili South local government area during the launch of the initiative, which is part of his administration’s efforts to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal.

According to the governor, the free services will continue as long as he is at the helm of affairs in Anambra State.

He urged Anambra communities to contribute their quota, adding that government alone cannot do everything as ninety-eight percent of Anambra funds are in the hands of private people while government only controls two percent.
