The Kogi Government says it will establish special healthcare centres to be called “Health Care Plus’’, designed for pregnant women and new born babies across the state.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Harunah, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja on Wednesday.
Harunah said the scheme would be a project with multiple components to cater for the pregnant women and their new born babies from the day of delivery up to 28 days of life.
