The Super Parents Foundation, an initiative that focuses on supporting vulnerable persons especially parents of children with disabilities, children with disabilities and young widows, has called for free healthcare access for children with disabilities in Lagos State.
The foundation made the call in an event organised to commemorate the international day of persons with disabilities. The event titled “Meet, Greet and Share” held at Shasha Akowonjo, on December 3, had vulnerable groups gathered together for advocacy walk, experience sharing, among other exciting experiences.
Speaking on the occasion, founder of the organisation, Barrister Mofoluwasho Liasu said providing access to healthcare service is key to good healthy living for children with disabilities. She said most children with disabilities don’t enjoy healthcare access in Lagos.
