According to her, this campaign aligns with our commitment to social responsibility and empowering women in our community. We firmly believe that when women are healthy and well-informed, they are better equipped to achieve their personal and financial goals.

The ‘W’ Initiative remains committed to promoting healthcare accessibility for women and has continually done so through the Maternal Health Service Support (MHSS), a discounted health financing product created specifically to enable payment of medical bills for fertility treatments, natal support, and other specialized procedures making access to quality healthcare easier and convenient for women and their families.
