Onyinyechi Ndubuisi says Anambra State’s free maternal healthcare initiative spared her family overwhelming medical costs after she safely delivered triplets through a caesarean section.
Mrs Ndubuisi gave birth to two girls and a boy at Okpoko General Hospital on Monday, 6 July, under the state’s free antenatal, delivery and maternal healthcare programme.
Speaking with journalists on Thursday, she described the initiative as life-changing, saying it guaranteed quality healthcare throughout her pregnancy without requiring any payment.
“The free maternal and delivery services ensure that quality healthcare is available to all, irrespective of state of origin.
“I’m grateful to the Anambra government for easing the financial pressure on my family because I cannot explain where we would have raised the money,” she said.
