ADHFP Campaign: We Invite Nominations to Transform Primary Healthcare Centres Across Nigeria
Millions of Nigerians face significant barriers to accessing essential healthcare services due to the under-resourcing of Primary Healthcare Centres. However, you have the power to change this narrative!
In keeping with our commitment to enhance access to quality primary healthcare across Nigeria, we are pleased to announce a nationwide call for nominations as part of the Adopt-A-Healthcare Facility Programme (ADHFP). This initiative, delivered in collaboration with the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN), aims to revitalise 5 Primary Healthcare Centres across the country. We invite you to nominate a Primary Healthcare Centre in your community that needs to be upgraded.
Having already revitalised four healthcare centres in Edo State and with plans for fourteen more in the state, we are asking the public to nominate additional Primary Healthcare centres in Local Government Areas across Nigeria that are in urgent need of revitalisation. This nomination campaign will run from November 4th to December 31st, 2024.
Primary Healthcare Centres are indispensable to community health, providing essential services such as immunisations, maternal care, and disease prevention. Yet, despite the existence of over 30,000 of them nationwide, approximately 80% lack the resources necessary to deliver basic healthcare services. This gap leaves millions vulnerable, particularly women and children.
The Adopt-A-Healthcare Facility Programme is an innovative public-private partnership that allows individuals and organisations to adopt Primary Healthcare Centres, resulting in improvements in infrastructure, equipment, and staffing. This collaboration aligns seamlessly with national healthcare objectives and reinforces the government’s agenda to strengthen primary healthcare systems across Nigeria.
We encourage all members of the public, health stakeholders, and local communities to actively participate in this initiative by nominating Primary Healthcare Centres that require revitalisation. This is a unique opportunity for communities to advocate for their healthcare needs and play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Nigeria.
