FG declares free C-Section for Nigerian Women

The Federal Government has announced free cesarean sections (C-sections) for poor and vulnerable women across the country.

Ali Pate, minister of health and social welfare, made the announcement in Abuja on Thursday at the launch of the maternal mortality reduction initiative (MAMII) during the ongoing joint annual review (JAR) of the sector-wide approach (SWAp) for health.

He said the move is part of the government’s push to tackle Nigeria’s maternal and neonatal mortality rates, which rank among the highest globally.

He noted that initiative aims to improve access to quality healthcare for mothers and newborns, with a particular focus on primary health services and community involvement.

The new policy is designed to ensure that poor women who need C-sections—either due to complications or as part of planned deliveries—can access the procedure without financial obstacles.

The minister also said an additional 120,000 health workers will be engaged to support primary care across the country.

“A pivotal feature of this initiative is the provision of free cesarean sections for poor and vulnerable women who meet eligibility criteria, covering services provided through both public and private facilities empaneled by the National Health Insurance Authority,” Pate said.

“By removing financial barriers to this life-saving procedure, we ensure that no woman in need is denied critical care due to cost.

“Community health workers play a crucial role in this mission, in line with Mr. President’s initiative to onboard 120,000 additional health workers to support primary care across Nigeria.

“These workers are essential in generating demand for maternal care services within communities, educating families on the importance of antenatal care, and ensuring that mothers are informed about available services.

“The Maternal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative represents an immediate, determined response to Nigeria’s maternal and newborn health challenges.

“Through demand generation, expanded primary and emergency care, and the removal of financial barriers, we are advancing a healthcare system that is truly accessible, affordable, and effective for all Nigerians.”

Walter Mulombo, the World Health Organisation (WHO) country representative in Nigeria, welcomed the initiative, stressing the importance of its effective implementation.

“If implemented right, this initiative will deliver. We’re here to support every step of the way,” he said.

Speaking at the opening of JAR on Wednesday, Pate had said Nigerians must hold government accountable for providing improved quality healthcare services and basic services.

“For our citizens, in line with the President’s overall direction, we want you to hold us, as well as your state and local governments, accountable for providing improved quality healthcare services and basic services that we need as a people to create a healthier nation,” he said
