Kwara LG inaugurates primary healthcare centre to improve health services

Date: 2018-04-06

A modern Primary Healthcare Centre, abandoned 11 years ago in Egosi-Ile, Oke-Ero Local Government Area of Kwara, was on Thursday inaugurated by Mr Joseph Oni, the council chairman.

Inaugurating the centre, Oni said that the facilities would improve healthcare services and bring healthcare delivery closer to people at the grassroots.

The council chairman commended the collective efforts of the community and other stakeholders toward the completion of the long abandoned project.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the project, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health, was initiated in 2007 by the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON).

The collaboration then resulted in the building of structures which have various units in the health centre before it was abandoned.

Oni said that the project was later taken over by the community and provides necessary facilities and equipment thereby paving way for its eventual inauguration.

The council chairman further pledged his administration's commitment toward providing the required logistics, staff and drugs for effective running of the centre.

"This intervention will be within the available resources of the council which will help in impacting positively on the health condition of our people," Oni said.

Hajia Motunrayo Oniyere, the Head of Health Department in the council, listed some of the units in the centre as Immunisation Unit, Family Planning Unit, Antenatal Unit, Maternity Section, as well as Ear, Nose and Throat Units (ENS).

The traditional ruler of the community, Elegosi of Egosi, Oba Samuel Dada, described the completion and inauguration of the project as unprecedented in the history of the community.

The Elegosi expressed the community's gratitude to the council for its support toward the successful completion of the health centre.

Dada said that the yearnings and aspirations of people in the community to have a befitting health centre had finally paid off following the completion and inauguration of the health centre.

He pledged on behalf of his chiefs and indigenes for adequate protection as well as the judicious use of the facility. (NAN)
