The Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) will hold a major free medical outreach in Kano State, targeting underserved communities, especially women and children.
Dr Fauziya Buhari-Ado, National Coordinator of the group, disclosed this in an interview with reporters on Friday in Abuja.
Buhari-Ado, who also serves as Special Assistant to the Kaduna State Governor on School Feeding Programme, commended the Kano State Government for its support for the initiative.
She said the success of the programme was made possible through collaboration with relevant agencies and stakeholders.
The outreach is expected to benefit no fewer than 1,500 women and children drawn from the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.
Free medications and medical tests will be provided during the exercise scheduled for Saturday, while patients with serious conditions will be referred for further treatment.
In addition to healthcare services, food items, immune boosters, and other nutrient-rich supplies will be distributed to beneficiaries on Saturday and Sunday.
Dr Buhari-Ado explained that the outreach was designed to support vulnerable groups in line with the Kano State Government’s development agenda aimed at improving health outcomes and social welfare.
The wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Martina Yilwatda, is expected to grace the event as Special Guest of Honour.
The Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2018. It is dedicated to connecting Nigerian women leaders across political, economic, and public sectors for collaboration and empowerment.
