The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) said it revitalised and renovated 95 of the 110 earmarked Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities under Rapid Response initiatives and PHC revitalisation programme.
The agency’s Executive Director, Dr Faisal Shuaib, told the News Agency Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja that the PHC Revitalization and Renovation programme was inaugurated by President Muhammad Buhari.
Shuaib said one of the top priorities of the agency was to provide technical support to state governments to facilitate smooth implementation of the PHC programme.
He added that beyond revitalisation of PHC facilities, NPHCDA was working with key stakeholders to review the general system of managing PHC centres across the country.
He explained that the new system of management was to ensure adequate distribution of human resources, equipment, availability of drugs, power, water and other things with a view to improving efficiency and quality of PHC services.
