President Bola Tinubu has promised again that his government will focus on maternal healthcare. Tinubu said that the way a nation treats its women shows its true character. He believes caring for women is caring for the whole family and the whole country.
At the launch of the Presidential Women’s Health Transformation Initiative called RenewHER, Tinubu shared his plans. The president, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, explained that maternal health is the heart of every family and a sign of national progress.
Tinubu’s RenewHER Initiative
The president introduced RenewHER to improve women’s health. This program will bring together many groups to work for a healthier Nigeria. He said RenewHER will help save mothers and children, and it will also give women more power in society.
The RenewHER program will also create a special office at the presidency to focus only on women’s health. This office will work with the Federal Ministry of Health and state governments. Tinubu said this is a way to make sure women’s health is not forgotten anywhere in the country.
Tinubu Calls for Teamwork
The president asked governors, state leaders, and partners to join hands. He said women’s voices and needs must be heard in every policy and program. He also called on the Governors’ Spouses Forum to help in the grassroots so that every community will feel the impact.
Tinubu explained that RenewHER will use modern tools like an AI-powered digital hub. This hub will give women and families important health information. It will also support campaigns on maternal survival, preventive care, and youth health.
Tinubu on Saving Women’s Lives
Tinubu said too many women die during childbirth in Nigeria. He called this a national shame. He stressed that every girl deserves not just promises, but a real chance for a healthier tomorrow. Tinubu said this can only happen if everyone—government, private sector, and partners—works together.
The president made it clear that his government will continue to support and lead all actions that improve women’s health until RenewHER becomes a success.
Partners Join Tinubu
Dr. Adanna Steinacker, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Women’s Health, said RenewHER is a bold plan. It will use data, technology, and smart funding to transform women’s health. She explained that RenewHER is also about economic empowerment through digital wallets, microgrants, and women-led health projects.
Groups like the Nigerian Governors Forum, Governors’ Spouses Forum, the Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Reduction Initiative, and the Women in Healthcare Network are all working with Tinubu to make RenewHER a success.
