While commending the Federal Government’s plan to construct additional Primary Healthcare Centres in the country, Comrade Kabir Yahaya Ahmed emphasized the need to also upgrade facilities in the existing ones towards actualizing President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda in the area of health.

He equally stressed the need for more recruitment of Community Health Practitioners to further strengthen healthcare delivery most especially at the grassroots.

“Government should also step up the renumeration and welfare of Community Health Practitioners to meet the realities in the health sector and in line with international best practices towards improving productivity and enhance the growth of the nation’s health sector because we play vital roles and very cynical to the development of the sector”, he emphasized.
