In a bid to enhance healthcare access for the vulnerable, the Caleb Danladi Foundation has renewed the one-year enrollment of 300 indigent women in Kwoi, Jaba Local Government Area, into the Kaduna State Contributory Health Scheme.
The scheme was administered by the Kaduna State Health Management Authority (KADCHMA).
The enrollment drive took place at the Foundation’s headquarters in Samban Gida, Jaba LGA, and was officially flagged off by the founder, Captain Caleb Danladi Bako.
He emphasized the importance of universal healthcare access, especially for the poor and underserved populations.
” The health scheme provides a basic benefits package covering both preventive and curative services at accredited public and private health facilities across the state.
Speaking at the event on Saturday, Captain Bako said the initiative reflects the Foundation’s commitment to easing the financial burden of healthcare on vulnerable groups.
“Our goal is to bridge the healthcare access gap for the less privileged in our communities,” he said. “No one should suffer simply because they cannot afford medical attention.”
Representing the Director General of KADCHMA, Malam Abubakar Hassan, the Head of Administration and Finance, Mallam Suleiman Abubakar, commended the Foundation for its strategic partnership. He described the gesture as a model that should be emulated by other well-meaning individuals and organizations.
He reiterated that the health scheme is designed to ensure every resident of Kaduna State, regardless of socio-economic status, can access quality healthcare.
Also speaking at the event, the National President of the Ham Development Association, Reverend Jerry Andrew, praised the initiative as a significant step forward for the Ham people. He encouraged other elites from the region to support similar development-focused efforts.
Several beneficiaries including elderly women, widows, orphans, and persons with disabilities—expressed heartfelt gratitude and offered prayers for God to bless and reward Captain Bako.
The Caleb Danladi Foundation has continued to champion initiatives in education, health, and youth empowerment across Southern Kaduna. This latest intervention further cements its impact in the area of humanitarian service.
PUNCH reports that in addition to providing free healthcare coverage to over 300 vulnerable individuals, the Foundation also organized a free medical outreach in honor of Captain Caleb’s late father, who passed away two months ago.
