The Seyi Tinubu Drug Bank Initiative has been inaugurated at the National Hospital, Abuja, aiming to reduce maternal and child mortality by providing free essential medicines to vulnerable women and children.

Mr. Seyi Tinubu, during the inauguration on Monday, said the initiative reflected his commitment to improving health outcomes for underserved populations and supporting government efforts in addressing maternal and child health challenges.

He was represented by Mr. Ojeje Onimisi.

“Our goal is to ensure no woman or child dies due to lack of access to basic medicines,” Tinubu said, emphasizing the importance of equitable healthcare and sustainable interventions across Nigeria. (NAN)

Dr. Ayodele Benson, National Coordinator of the Seyi Tinubu Maternal and Child Healthcare Intervention Projects, said 60 tertiary hospitals across Nigeria had been selected to benefit from the donation programme.

He stated the initiative would establish drug banks in key hospital units and provide free medicines and delivery supplies to indigent patients in the Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Paediatrics departments nationwide.

Benson also revealed plans to deploy Point-of-Care Ultrasound equipment in labour wards and antenatal clinics, alongside training healthcare workers for optimal use and improved diagnostic support during pregnancy and childbirth. (NAN)
