The state Health Commissioner Amina Baloni announced this while providing updates on health status, budget performance, COVID-19 intervention and renovation of 255 PHCs in the state.
She spoke at the Open Kaduna Health Quarterly Interactive Forum, organised by Kaduna State Maternal New-born and Child Accountability Mechanism, KADMAM in collaboration with the state Ministry of Health and other Development Partners with the theme, “#Open Kaduna Health in the Midst of COVID-19 Pandemic”.
Earlier, the Co-Chair of KADMAM Mustapha Jumare pointed out that low-cash backing of budget releases is undermining performance of the health sector in the state.
He also acknowledged a reasonable budgetary allocation to the health sector by the state government, in line with the Abuja Declaration of a minimum of 15 per cent budgetary allocation to the sector. He, however, said in spite the reasonable budgetary allocations, the health indices in the state had remained very disturbing.
