He said that the partnership is to help individuals and organizations impact the lives of people and communities that they serve or have interest in.
He said that every Nigerian deserves access to affordable and high-quality healthcare.
“This initiative is geared towards ensuring that Nigeria is rid of Malaria, particularly as the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing everything within its capacity to provide the necessary awareness and resources for the eradication of Malaria.
“Partnership for good is open to individuals, celebrities, ‘influencers’, small businesses, corporate organizations, development organizations, tech companies, groups & associations, government and any other institution as an avenue to impact the people and communities that they serve.
“The World Malaria Day Edition is aimed at providing 1 million everyday Nigerians with our Malaria Plan Cover with your strategic support by 25th April 2022 -World Malaria Day,” Jacobs said.
He also said that the WellaHealth Malaria Plan for N500 only, provides beneficiaries with a 30-day cover for malaria test and treatment, typhoid cover when malaria is negative, treatment for fever and pains, treatment for cough and cold, treatment for stomach upsets and allergies, blood pressure and blood sugar checks with access to talk to a doctor 24/7 as long as the plan is active.
He said that the health plan comes in form of a voucher that is easily activated via a USSD code with a simple less than one minute activation process.
He said, “Beneficiaries will wait 4 Days to begin to enjoy the benefits of their malaria cover once activated. As part of this initiative, we will be running community sensitization and awareness programs while there, beneficiaries will be able to activate their cards, learn about the claims process as well as get vital information on their health and management.”
