1,000 women to enjoy health insurance

1,000 women to enjoy health insurance

The Aleeta Foundation and GoWellness have launched a Free Basic Health Insurance Initiative targeting 1,000.

Spearheaded by wellness advocate and GoWellness Chief Executive, Dr. Gloria Praise, the initiative provides free maternity care—prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services—with 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,” Dr. Praise said.

GoWellness, with centres in Abuja and Port Harcourt, promotes alternative therapies – fitness programmes, aromatherapy, and wellness education, bridging gaps in conventional medical care.

It kicked off in April with enrolment of 250 women in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt. More states will be included.

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 programme’s growth.
