Kwara State Wins Best Performing State in North Central for Primary Health Care Leadership Challenge

Date: 2024-12-13

Kwara State Government has once again emerged as the 'Best Performing State in North Central for the 2023/2024 Primary Health Care Leadership Challenge', as reported by the Kwara State Government.

Kwara had won the same award last year, underscoring the efforts of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his team to strengthen basic healthcare delivery to the people in the state.

The award again comes with a $500,000 reward to be spent on facilities in line with the UNICEF/Nigeria Governors' Forum specifications.

The Leadership Challenge is a peer review exercise to nudge subnational governments to do more to improve healthcare delivery and better outcomes for the people.

Kwara was represented at the award by the Honourable Commissioner for Health Dr. Amina Ahmed el-Imam and Executive Secretary of the Primary Health Care Development Agency Dr. Nusirat Elelu.

Held at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja, the event was attended by Vice President Kashim Shetimma (represented); Governors led by the NGF Chairman Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq; Minister of Health and Social Welfare Prof. Muhammed Ali Pate and other top government officials.

Using a rigorous, independently developed performance monitoring framework-- endorsed by all states -- the Challenge assesses performance across key pillars: Governance, Financing, Quality Service Delivery, Use od Evidence, Sustainability, and Outcomes.

Kwara State has consistently invested in the basic health care sector, saying it will continue to bridge infrastructural and human resource gaps and upscale services for the good of the people.

The state recently approved another round of infrastructural upgrades for many PHCs while also hiring hundreds of new health workers to bridge personnel shortage.
