The Police Officers' Wives Association (POWA) has expanded its collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) for an upcoming welfare outreach targeting police families in Lagos. POWA President Olufunmilola Disu hosted a high-level NANNM delegation led by National President Haruna Mamman at the POWA headquarters in Abuja. The meeting focused on strengthening healthcare delivery for police communities ahead of the second phase of the POWA Cares Initiative, following the success of the first phase in Abuja, which served over 1,000 beneficiaries with free eye screening, treatment and basic medical consultations. The Lagos outreach, set for later this month, will include healthcare services and broader social support, including scholarships for 10 children of police officers to study nursing. Mrs Disu, a trained nurse, described the partnership as essential for delivering quality, people-centred care to families of law enforcement personnel. Both organisations also agreed to work more closely to combat the rising presence of unlicensed medical practitioners. The initiative aims to provide integrated support services to police families across Lagos, bringing together healthcare professionals and key stakeholders.
