The Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria has said it will establish at least one global standard primary healthcare centre in each of the 774 local government areas in Nigeria.
Speaking at the press conference to unveil Adopt a Private Health Facility Project, Chief Executive Officer of PSHAN, Dr Tinuola Akinbolagbe, said ADHFP would work to restore public trust in the efficiency and effectiveness of the Nigerian healthcare sector through the adoption of one primary health care centre in 774 LGA of Nigeria.
“ADHFP was conceptualised by Mr Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and PSHAN with the primary goal of establishing at least one global standard primary healthcare centre in each of the 774 local government areas in Nigeria. ADHFP was also established on our belief that the African continent will continue to bear the painful burden of high disease mortality long after the rest of the world has overcome these challenges unless we address the poor state of health systems at the primary level.
“The Program is expected to directly benefit the people of Nigeria through improved access to healthcare, reduction in infant, under-5, and maternal mortality reduce the burden of diseases of public health interest such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB etc.”
She added that PSHAN would create a compelling opportunity to pool private sector capabilities, resources, assets, and expertise across a collaborative platform to complement the efforts of government, partners, and implementers to accelerate improvement in health outcomes in Nigeria.
“ADHFP is not just about providing medical care but looks at the entire health value chain. By establishing primary healthcare centres for those who need it most, the project will make an immediate impact on the mortality rate in Nigeria.”
