The Federal Government two years ago promised to revitalise ten thousand primary healthcare centres across the country, many states said they are still awaiting the central government’s intervention.
The Federal Government had, in 2017, begun the National Primary Healthcare Revitalisation Initiative with the aim of resuscitating over ten thousand health centres across the country.
During the inauguration of the Model Primary Health Care Centre, Kuchigoro in Abuja, former Minister of Health Isaac Adewole had said the target of the scheme was to have at least, a functional health care centre in each ward in the country.
He added that the scheme would be executed through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency.
But stakeholders in different states, including the Nigerian Medical Association branches and chapters of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives told newsmen that they had yet to see the impact of the Federal Government’s programme.
