The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the International Federation on Ageing-Nigeria (IFAN), have concluded arrangements to boost the delivery of health services and humanitarian response to rural dwellers, through mobile hospitals/clinics.
At the Integrated National Mobile/Field Hospital Initiative for Humanitarian Intervention and Social Response Project/Partnership Outreach Meeting on Thursday in Abuja, both organisations noted that the intervention would help in improving the lives of people at the grassroots, and in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in the country.
National Coordinator IFAN, Ike Willie-Nwobu, who noted that the journey started in January 1999, said the national programme was aimed at utilising extensively the massive human capital deposit within the NYSC, in delivering health services in the most cost effective and efficient way.a
