The Nigeria Solidarity Support Fund, NSSF, has pledged funding for child immunization in Cross River State.
Team Lead of NSSF, Dr Fejiro Chinye-Nwoko made the pledge at a meeting with the Cross River State Commissioner for Health, Dr Henry Egbe Ayuk, in Calabar over the weekend.
During the meeting, NSSF sought collaboration with the State Ministry of Health to better improve “outreaches on childhood immunization” in the state.
Speaking during a presentation to health sector stakeholders in the office of the commissioner, Chinye-Nwoko stated that NSSF will be committing to funding child immunization in Cross River and two other states.
Responding, Commissioner for Health, Ayuk, thanked the organisation for its choice of Cross River as one of the three states to support child immunisation.
He noted that when operational, such a project would impact on the health and wellbeing of children in the state.
