The Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KSCHMA), in collaboration with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), has paid a strategic advocacy visit to the Aminu Magashi Garba Foundation to strengthen partnerships aimed at expanding healthcare access for vulnerable groups in Kano State.
During the visit, which took place at the Foundation’s headquarters in Kano, the delegation from KSCHMA was led by Dr. Musbahu Maimashi, who represented the Executive Secretary of KSCHMA, Dr. Rahila Aliyu Muktar. The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) was represented by Dr. Kabiru Gulma.
The high-level engagement focused on the need for sustainable healthcare financing and the pivotal role of philanthropic organizations in supporting the state’s healthcare contributory scheme.
The KSCHMA team presented updates on the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) and other contributory health plans designed to serve vulnerable populations.
In response, the Chairman of the Aminu Magashi Garba Foundation, Dr. Aminu Magashi Garba expressed strong support for the Agency’s mandate and committed to sponsoring the enrollment of 200 vulnerable individuals into the KSCHMA healthcare scheme. This landmark pledge is a continuation of the Foundation’s mission to improve access to quality healthcare for underserved communities.
To acknowledge his humanitarian commitment and consistent advocacy for health equity, KSCHMA officially honoured Dr. Aminu Magashi Garba as a KSCHMA Ambassador. The honorary title was announced in recognition of his dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable groups through health-focused philanthropy.
“This is a significant milestone in our journey toward achieving Universal Health Coverage in Kano State,” said Dr. Musbahu Maimashi.
“The generosity of individuals like Dr. Magashi Garba highlights the critical role of private sector support in advancing the health of our most at-risk populations.”
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, through Dr. Kabiru Gulma commended both KSCHMA and the Foundation for their collaborative approach to sustainable health financing and reaffirmed CHAI’s commitment to supporting evidence-based, high-impact interventions in the state.
KSCHMA and the Aminu Magashi Garba Foundation will commence immediate beneficiary identification and enrollment, while the new KSCHMA Ambassador will be engaged in public awareness campaigns and community health dialogues.
This collaboration marks a vital step in building a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system in Kano State.
