Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has approved recruitment of additional 3,059 frontline health workers to improve the standards of the primary healthcare services in the state.
Chairman, Primary Health Care Development Agency Board, Kaduna, Dr. Sani Muhammed Jibrin, who disclosed this during a Primary Health Care Under One Roof (PHCUOR) review meeting in Kaduna at the weekend, said the state government had opened its health sector so that citizens and other partners could contribute their quota to healthcare delivery at grassroots.
He said: “Before Governor El-Rufai assumed office, primary health care services were scattered and fragmented at various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
“But now, the way we are operating is that everything is put under one roof. We now have one management, one plan, one monitoring and evaluation and everything concerning PHC is now under the agency.”
