In a strategic move to improve healthcare delivery across Kogi State, the administration of Governor Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo is making significant progress with the revitalization of 70 Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs). This initiative aims to bolster healthcare accessibility in various communities, while also constructing new centers in key locations.
One such project is the ongoing construction of a new PHC in the Ganaja community of Ajaokuta Local Government Area. Ganaja, a densely populated area, has long been without a PHC, making this project a crucial intervention for the community’s health needs.
The 70 PHCs are expected to be completed within a set timeline, ensuring that residents across Kogi State will soon have improved access to healthcare services. The project reflects Governor Ododo’s commitment to enhancing health infrastructure as part of his broader development agenda.
During a recent inspection of the Ganaja site, Adams Abdulazeez, the Commissioner for Health in Kogi State, was accompanied by the Executive Director of the State Primary Development Board and the desk officer for Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF) and Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp). Their presence highlights the collaborative effort between state health authorities to ensure the success of the project.
With the government’s focus on improving healthcare infrastructure, these PHCs are expected to play a critical role in addressing the health challenges faced by communities, especially in underserved areas.
