Director-General of NHIA, Dr. Kelechi Ohiri, disclosed this on Thursday during the second steering committee meeting of the programme, in Abuja.

Dr. Ohiri highlighted the significant progress made since the programme’s inception in June 2024, aimed at addressing both the clinical and non-clinical needs of women suffering from obstetric fistula.

The programme, which operates across Nigeria, ensures that women receive comprehensive care, including surgery, post-treatment follow-up, feeding, transportation stipends, and enrollment in health insurance.

“This initiative supports all women with obstetric fistula, regardless of their location, ensuring they have access to necessary healthcare services,” Dr. Ohiri stated.
