First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has distributed 10,000 professional kits to midwives and nurses in Nigeria’s South-East geopolitical zone as part of efforts to enhance healthcare delivery.
The kits, comprising branded scrubs and pairs of Crocs, are part of the Renewed Hope Initiative’s broader plan to equip midwives for effective delivery.
This event marks the final phase of a nationwide distribution of kits to midwives, with 50,000 sets already distributed to five other geopolitical zones.
The initiative aims to strengthen frontline healthcare support and has procured 60,000 branded scrubs and 60,000 pairs of Crocs.
Additionally, Mrs. Tinubu announced a ₦50 million grant to support 1,000 women petty traders in Enugu State and plans to launch a new health campaign, “Free-to-Shine,” to promote healthier mothers and eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, and Hepatitis ¹.
The Renewed Hope Initiative has provided targeted interventions in various sectors, including agriculture, economic empowerment, education, health, and social investment, to uplift families across Nigeria.
By equipping midwives with the right tools and kits, the initiative recognizes the demands of the health profession and aims to encourage midwives in their service to others.
