1win and HSDF Bring Free Healthcare Screenings to 10,000 People across Enugu and Anambra State
The 1win-facilitated health check-ups operate from November 30 to December 30, 2024, across Enugu and Anambra states and target individuals between 18 and 60 years. With on-ground guidance from the renowned charity organization HSDF, the joint project aims to reach around 10,000 local people and provide them with preliminary screenings for hypertension and diabetes, the two prevalent conditions posing severe risks to public health in Nigeria.
Throughout the campaign, citizens can obtain free healthcare services at 1win-branded screening stations at markets, churches, mosques, town halls, and community centers across rural areas in Enugu and Anambra states. 1win has ensured that these stations offer free blood sugar testing and consultations with experienced healthcare practitioners. Visitors can receive blood pressure readings, detailed screening results, and clear, tailored guidance from specialists to help manage and prevent diseases.
This program underscores 1win’s mission to contribute meaningfully to the communities where the brand operates. By partnering with HSDF, 1win is extending its impact beyond business to address healthcare challenges and promote more sustainable living.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Chidi Okeke, Head and Director of HSDF, said, “This partnership represents a step toward a healthier society. With 1win’s support, we can reach people who do not have proper access to healthcare services. Such partnership is essential as diabetes and heart conditions frequently remain undiagnosed yet can be mortal. Together with 1win, we hope to empower local people with knowledge and resources to take charge of their health.”
Residents of Enugu and Anambra States are encouraged to visit the nearest healthcare stations between November 30 and December 30 to take advantage of this life-preserving opportunity.

“The additional shares arose from the company’s rights issue of 600,000,000 ordinary shares of 50 Kobo each at N35.00 per share on the basis of one new ordinary share for every existing four ordinary shares held as at the close of business on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
“With the listing of the additional 600,000,000 ordinary shares, the total issued and fully paid-up shares of Fidson Healthcare Plc have now increased from 2,400,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 ordinary shares of 50 Kobo each.”

This news will surely excite local contractors with verified claims of N100 million or less, as the federal government has approved their payments.
This approval for the disbursement was given by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele.
This followed a verification and reconciliation exercise designed to ensure only validated claims qualify for payment.
The beneficiaries cover contractors across multiple ministries, departments and agencies. The release of the funds is expected to enable contractors to return to project sites, pay workers, settle suppliers and meet outstanding financial commitments.
In an announcement on Monday, the Federal Ministry of Finance also said this latest batch of payments would ease liquidity pressure on small businesses and accelerate economic activity nationwide.
It was noted that the payments for verified claims of N100 million below were strategically done to spread economic impact broadly rather than concentrate disbursements among a handful of large firms.
The payments form part of a broader push to clear inherited contractor obligations, with over N700 billion verified in recent months.
“For many beneficiaries, the release of funds represents more than a financial transaction. It provides the certainty needed to sustain operations, preserve jobs, complete ongoing projects, and contribute to economic recovery and growth,” the ministry said in a statement.
