Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to reducing maternal and child mortality through targeted health interventions across the country.
Speaking during an engagement with traditional rulers in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, the wife of the president stressed the importance of grassroots involvement in addressing health challenges, especially among women and children.
Remi Tinubu called on monarchs to support the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Initiative by sensitizing their communities on the availability of free healthcare services, including treatments for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
She stressed that when frontline health workers are well-supported, the rate of maternal and infant mortality will reduce significantly.
The First Lady pointed out that the engagement is to encourage the frontline health workers by providing them with incentives and recognizing the great job they are doing.
