“Maternal and child health is a key focus for Rotary. This outreach ensures women in Kungabukun are educated on proper care for themselves and their babies.

“We will also conduct follow-up medical checks in partnership with Silver Cross Hospital and address open defecation by constructing public toilets to improve hygiene,” he said.

He urged pregnant women to use the provided mosquito nets, attend antenatal clinics regularly, and follow prescribed medications.

The club also donated a nebulizer to the paediatric ward of Kubwa General Hospital.

Receiving the nebulizer on behalf of the hospital, Dr Ejinkonye expressed gratitude, stating that it would benefit not only the children but also other patients requiring respiratory care.

“This nebulizer will enhance our paediatric services and serve other wards as well. We appreciate Rotary’s support in improving healthcare delivery,” he said.

The event aligns with Rotary’s July focus on maternal health and World Hepatitis Day, reinforcing the club’s commitment to sustainable community development.
