Lagos state government through the Eko Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA) initiative, an arm of the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA), has secured additional funds for providing affordable, quality healthcare services to vulnerable residents in Lagos.

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who disclosed this while speaking at the EKOSHA fundraising event in Lagos, said the primary objective of EKOSHA, is to raise more money in order to offer Lagos’s most vulnerable citizens access to high-quality, reasonably priced healthcare.

Highlighting the significance of the fundraising initiative, Sanwo-Olu emphasized its dual purpose, which is to bridge the gap between healthcare demand and supply while enhancing financial risk protection for the vulnerable.

“This evening’s gathering is dedicated to expanding healthcare opportunities for vulnerable individuals in Lagos through Eko Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA). Our aim is to bring smiles to the faces of those vulnerable individuals who are yet to benefit from the Scheme,” he asserted.

The Governor, represented by the secretary to the state government, Mrs. Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, expounded on the three arms of the EKOSHA initiative —Adoption, Crowdfunding, and Events (ACE Model)—designed to bolster support for vulnerable individuals. He disclosed that the initiative has equipped fourteen children from Orphanage Homes in the state with artistic skills, resulting in the creation of remarkable artworks.

Assuring inclusivity, the Governor reiterated his administration commitment to ensuring that all Lagos residents have access to quality and affordable healthcare, irrespective of socio-economic or cultural backgrounds.

In her remarks, the wife of Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, represented by Mrs. Olamide Ogunnubi, echoed the sentiment that achieving Universal Healthcare Coverage is a collective responsibility.

She emphasized healthcare as a fundamental right accessible to all and urged stakeholders to generously support the EKOSHA initiative, stressing the positive impact of donations on the lives of those in need.

“It is my hope that through EKOSHA, stakeholders in quality healthcare delivery can make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals, ensuring they receive the care they require,” she remarked.

Special adviser to the governor on Health, Dr. (Mrs.) Kemi Ogunyemi, highlighted that enrolling in health insurance guarantees security in the face of health uncertainties, emphasizing it as an investment in the health and future of the community.
