KSCHMA in Pertneship with ZAYT foundation Enrolled 170 Almajiri Children into State Healthcare Scheme
Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KSCHMA) and the Zayt Foundation for Women and Children,enrolled 170 Almajiri pupils from the Malam Babba Qur’anic School in Hausawa into the Kano State healthcare scheme.
The newly enrolled Almajiris will now have access to a range of services, including preventive care, treatment for common illnesses, and maternal and child health services through the state scheme.
Dr. Rahila Aliyu Muktar, Executive Secretary of KACHMA, who led the event, underscored the agency’s commitment to inclusive healthcare.
“No one should be left behind when it comes to healthcare access,Today’s enrollment is a testimony that even the most vulnerable among us have the right to quality healthcare. Together, we are building a healthier Kano State.” She said
The program is part of KSCHMA’s broader strategy to identify and register populations that traditionally lack access to formal healthcare systems, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from receiving necessary medical treatment.
The move was met with profound gratitude from the Qur’anic school community. Alaramma Ahmad Abubakar (Malam Karami), the owner and head of Malam Babba Qur’anic School, thanked the state government and its partners for the gesture.
“On behalf of our pupils, I sincerely thank His Excellency Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Executive Secretary of KSCHMA, Dr. Rahila Aliyu Muktar, and the Zayt Foundation for enrolling our children into the state healthcare services,This gesture brings relief and hope to the Almajiri community, and we are deeply grateful.”he said
However ,KSCHMA reiterated its call to other development partners, non-governmental organizations, and philanthropists to support its ongoing drive to enroll more vulnerable populations across Kano State.
