    Inmates in custodial facilities across Kano State will now have access to healthcare services following the approval of their enrolment into the State’s Healthcare Contributory Scheme. 

    The initiative, aimed at providing comprehensive health coverage for inmates, was announced during a visit by Dr. Rahila Aliyu Muktar, Executive Secretary of the Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KACHMA), to the Kano State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

    According to a statement signed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSC Musbahu Nasarawa, the visit underscored the state government’s commitment to improving the welfare of inmates.

    “The state government is fully prepared to ensure that all inmates in our facilities receive quality healthcare while in custody,” Dr. Muktar said during the visit. “This enrolment will guarantee access to basic and comprehensive healthcare services, contributing to their overall well-being and reformation.”

    In response, the Controller of Corrections for Kano State, Ado Inuwa, expressed gratitude to the state government for the initiative.

    He described the development as a significant step towards improving the living conditions of inmates.

    “This gesture will not only enhance the health of inmates but also motivate them to become productive and law-abiding citizens upon their release,” Inuwa remarked. “Healthcare is essential for effective custodial management, and this move will greatly aid in the reformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates.”

    The controller further emphasised that the health and medical welfare of inmates play a vital role in their transformation, urging continuous collaboration between the state government and correctional facilities.

    The new policy is expected to cover routine medical check-ups, emergency treatments, and other essential health services, reinforcing the state government’s commitment to social welfare and justice.
