FG TARGETS 700 COMMUNITIES IN PRIMARY HEALTHCARE DRIVE
The Federal Government says it is strengthening primary healthcare delivery in more than 700 communities across Nigeria through its National Health Fellows Programme.
The initiative is designed to support healthcare services at the grassroots level and improve access to essential medical care, particularly in underserved communities.
Through the programme, health fellows are expected to contribute to efforts to improve service delivery, support healthcare monitoring and identify challenges affecting primary healthcare facilities.
Primary healthcare remains a critical part of Nigeria’s health system, providing services such as immunisation, maternal and child healthcare, disease prevention and basic medical treatment.
The government’s initiative comes amid ongoing efforts to address gaps in healthcare access and strengthen services at the community level.
However, further details on the specific interventions planned for the more than 700 communities, including their locations and implementation timelines, were not provided in the information available.
