A total of 34,000 underprivileged people are set to gain from the Zamfara state government’s Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF) free healthcare delivery service, which was launched by Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle’s administration. Governor Matawalle said the gesture was in keeping with his administration’s readiness to eliminate suffering among the state’s less privileged during the program’s ceremonial debut at Farida General Hospital in Gusau on Thursday. He went on to say that his administration has built primary health centers for the initiative in all 147 wards of the state’s 14 local government councils. “Under the state basic healthcare provision fund, all 34000 beneficiaries would receive free healthcare delivery services in the state,” he stated. According to him, 231 recipients would be chosen from each of the state’s 147 wards based on the program’s validation and enrollment criteria. He noted that the program will include 92 pregnant women, 116 children under the age of five, and 23 elderly and physically challenged people from each ward.
