The Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA) has urged women, particularly midwives, to make smart financial decisions by investing in profitable ventures to ensure long-term financial stability.
PIA Acting Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Namakau Ntini, emphasized that equipping women with financial knowledge is a crucial tool for fostering sustainable development within communities.
She encouraged midwives to actively participate in financial activities that enable them to make informed decisions, such as budgeting, saving, pensions, insurance, and investment opportunities, while they still have a stable income.
Speaking at the same event, the Ministry of Health’s Chief Nursing Officer for Education and Training, Chinyengo Mundanya, highlighted the importance of financial literacy among midwives.
He noted that despite their vital role in maternal health, many midwives face financial challenges.
Mr. Mundanya further stressed that financial literacy serves as a foundation for both personal and professional empowerment.
