During a news conference held alongside her field trip with UNICEF’s ‘D’ Field Office in Bauchi, Henshaw underscored the pivotal role of proper nutrition and immunization in ensuring the healthy development of children. She stressed the necessity of establishing additional primary healthcare facilities across the state to broaden immunization coverage and bolster healthcare accessibility for all communities.
“Child nutrition and immunization are fundamental pillars of child health and development,” remarked Henshaw, echoing UNICEF’s commitment to advancing children’s rights and well-being globally. “By expanding the reach of primary healthcare facilities, we can effectively strengthen immunization initiatives and ensure that every child receives the essential care they need to thrive.”
Henshaw’s advocacy aligns with UNICEF’s broader mission to promote child rights, advocate for equitable access to healthcare, and combat preventable diseases.
