Delta restates commitment to quality healthcare delivery

By Festus Ahon

CHAIRMAN of the Delta State Primary Health Care Under One Roof, PHCUOR, Dr Richard Kofi, has restated the commitment of the state government to quality healthcare service delivery to all Deltans.

Speaking during a sensitization meeting to review primary health care law, the Delta State Primary Health Care Development Agency, DSPHCDA, with Primary Health Care, PHC coordinators in collaboration with the United Nations International Children Education Fund, UNICEF, Kofi said the meeting became necessary to put the state at par with its contemporaries in the country as regards effective primary health care service delivery.

He said PHCUOR policy would make primary health care centres organise for easy information flow and personnel management, noting that the policy was in line with Governor Okowa’s health for all Deltans at all times.

The Director General of the state Contributory Health Commission, Dr. Ben Nkechika explained that Governor Okowa has given approval for the official flag off of the contributory health scheme next month.

Appealing to the primary health coordinators to support the commission as he would be working with them, Nkechika said PHCs were at the grassroots and would be used to reach the rural populace.

The Executive Director of DSPHCDA, Dr. Francis Onojeta stressed the urgent need to discuss some challenges mitigating against the achievement of PHCUOR.
