Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani, says the Federal Government will soon embark on a free healthcare intervention scheme in the nine oil producing states as from next month. The minister made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.
Usain said the essence of the health program was for the people to know their health status with a view to promoting healthy living.
"This intervention is expected to diagnose and offer first-hand treatment to persons with terminal ailments and common health challenges," the minister said.
He said that the program was being organized for the people in acknowledgment of the region's immense contributions to the nation's economic development.
The minister said that the ministry and National Association of Urologists would bear the cost, and the program would cover treatment of all kinds.
