AIICO Insurance Partners for Maternal Health Outreach

AIICO Insurance Plc, in partnership with HACEY Health Initiative, conducted a two-day maternal health outreach at General Hospital, Ikorodu, Lagos State, reaching 1,000 participants. The outreach aimed to provide essential health education, screening services, and maternal care supplies to pregnant women, nursing mothers, and infants.

The initiative integrated maternal health activities into the hospital's existing antenatal and immunisation clinics. AIICO's Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Manager, Mrs. Abimbola Shobanjo, stated that the outreach included blood pressure, blood sugar, and malaria screenings, along with health education and medical referrals.

Participants with high-risk results were referred to an on-site medical doctor. The initiative also focused on educating women about pregnancy danger signs and the importance of seeking medical attention.

A total of 650 maternal care kits were distributed, containing essential supplies for hygienic delivery and newborn care. AIICO's approach to corporate responsibility emphasizes addressing real needs and making a practical difference in people's lives.
