Ebuka NwankwoGovernor Chukwuma Soludo’s commitment to improve primary healthcare in Anambra State has culminated in the significant and positive impact seen on the lives of residents of Anambra, particularly women, children, nursing mothers and the people who were hitherto regarded to live in hard-to-reach and underserved areas.
The PHC Leadership Challenge award was launched in 2022 by the Nigeria Governors Forum as a commitment to strengthening and improving the PHC ecosystem across the country and to appraise state performance. The first award edition kicked off in 2023 with Borno State – a state led by another progressive governor – emerging the best-performing state in primary healthcare delivery and taking home a price money of $1.2 million.
The administration knows that quality healthcare workers are the most important asset hospitals have. In the last 2 years, the Governor Soludo-led administration has recruited 500 healthcare workers to man – or rather to fill in the manpower gaps – in the various healthcare facilities being revamped in the state. This is coming in an era where some state governments have almost halted new employments. The administration hopes to increase the number of these healthcare recruits in future.
Governor Soludo has been able to sustain the state’s free healthcare, antenatal and post-natal services as a result of his prudent management of resources. As a result of this, pregnant women do not pay a dime in public healthcare centers in Anambra and maternal mortality rate is almost zero in Anambra.
