Telecel Foundation Supports Over 300 Pregnant Women with Free Healthcare in Ada
The Telecel Foundation has extended free maternal healthcare support to more than 300 pregnant women in Ada as part of efforts to improve access to essential health services.
The initiative forms part of the foundation’s broader commitment to strengthening maternal and child healthcare, particularly in underserved communities where access to quality care remains limited.
Beneficiaries of the programme received a range of services, including antenatal care support, medical screening, and essential health education aimed at promoting safe pregnancies and deliveries.
According to organisers, the intervention is designed to ease the financial burden associated with maternal healthcare while encouraging expectant mothers to seek timely medical attention throughout pregnancy.
Healthcare professionals involved in the outreach emphasised the importance of regular antenatal visits in detecting and managing potential complications early, noting that such interventions are critical in reducing maternal and infant mortality.
The foundation also used the opportunity to raise awareness about maternal health, nutrition, and the need for skilled birth attendance, which remains a key factor in ensuring safe delivery outcomes.
Telecel Foundation has in recent years expanded its activities in the health sector, with a focus on community-based initiatives that improve access to care and support vulnerable populations.
Community leaders in Ada welcomed the programme, describing it as a timely intervention that addresses pressing healthcare challenges faced by pregnant women in the area.
Public health advocates say initiatives like this complement government efforts and play an important role in strengthening primary healthcare systems across the country.
