National Association of Seadogs, NAS, has donated drugs and medical items worth millions of naira to two public hospitals in Kaduna State to support
“Like what we are doing, sharing these things, we did not come to give it to the hospitals to share because most times if you do that and go back, they will turn into private property.
He said that the association has developed a comprehensive blueprint towards providing free medical assistance to the less privileged mothers and children as well as the vulnerable nationwide which he explained is aimed at improving their health status. He said, “This programme was carried out due to our research and discovery of high maternal mortality rate in Kaduna. We started with a sensitization programme which includes collaboration with religious leaders, community chiefs and health practitioners to educate the community on the need for proper antenatal care and child health during and after pregnancy.
“This informed our decision to reach out to partners and source for funds and materials to distribute these basic drugs and sanitary materials to these women who are either to deliver or have delivered. The materials sourced includes sanitary equipment, drugs for mother and child, nets etc ”
