In a bold step to expand healthcare access for women, the Aleeta Foundation and GoWellness have launched a Free Basic Health Insurance Initiative targeting 1,000 beneficiaries by the end of 2025.

Spearheaded by wellness advocate and GoWellness CEO Dr. Gloria Praise, the initiative provides free maternity care—including prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services—alongside holistic wellness support for women in underserved communities.

“Our goal is simple: to make wellness accessible and affordable for every woman. “Health isn’t just about hospitals—it’s also about prevention, balance, and care that touches every aspect of life,” Dr. Praise said.

GoWellness, with centers in Abuja and Port Harcourt, promotes alternative therapies such as fitness programs, aromatherapy, and wellness education, bridging gaps in conventional medical care.

The program kicked off in April with the enrollment of 250 women across Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt. More states will be included as the project expands over the year.

Funded by Dr. Praise herself, the initiative highlights a private-sector-driven approach to community health. The partners are urging corporate sponsors, development partners, and private citizens to support the program’s growth.
