The wife Anambra State governor Mrs Nonye Soludo says the delivery of multiple babies in Anambra primary health centres is the evidence needed to prove that the present administration in the state is delivering smart policies in health sector
The governor’s wife stated this when she visited two women who recently delivered quadruplet and triplet respectively at Referral Health Centre, Awgbu, and Enugwuabo Health Centre, Ufuma, both in Orumba North Local Government Area.
The Chambers News learnt that, two day ago, Mrs Amuche Anoliefo, from Agulu in Anaocha Local Government Area, gave birth to a set of four babies at Referral Health Centre, Awgbu, same day that Mrs Ujunwa Edeh who hails from Eha Amufu, Enugu State, but resides in Ufuma with her family, gave birth to triplet at the community health centre.
On reception of the news, Mrs Soludo visited the two mothers to present gift to the babies.
Both women are beneficiaries of the recently-introduced free antenatal care and delivery services in Anambra State.
She expressed joy that both women have been saved from bearing heavy costs amounting to millions of Naira, because they benefitted from the free antenatal care and delivery initiative, and urged pregnant women living in the state to take advantage of the programme.
The governor’s wife then asked the nursing mothers to ensure that they feed the babies natural food supplements, look after their health and to ensure that they get all the necessary vaccines that have been introduced by the government.
For Mrs Anoliefo and Mrs Edeh, who could not conceal their emotions, said the visits meant so much for both families, as the governor’s wife has brought another light of joy to complete their celebrations.
