60% Lagos Primary Hospitals In Poor Shape– Commissioner by ogododo: 9:21pm On Nov 12, 2022
The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, said at least 60 per cent of the primary healthcare centres in the state are not in very desirable state.

Abayomi revealed this on Saturday on his Instagram handle @profakinabayomi.

The commissioner, however, said the state government had invested time to conduct a needs assessment on PHC infrastructure to provide evidence-based information for improvement.

He said, “A functional Primary Health Centre is the foundation of a vibrant healthcare system, and as part of the blueprint for the transformation of the medical infrastructure strategy in Lagos State, the @lagostategovt has invested time to conduct a needs assessment on PHC infrastructure to provide evidence-based information for improvement.

“Lagos State has over 325 PHCs, with at least 60 per cent not in a very desirable state. @lagosstategovt is currently putting plans in place to refurbish these facilities to cater for the health needs of Lagos residents.

“We currently have the blueprints which will serve as the framework to transform all the PHCs. Construction will commence soon and we believe that over the next 3 to 4 years the PHCs will be transformed. #ForAGreaterLagos.

“It was a great honour representing the Governor of Lagos State @jidesanwoolu as a special guest at the Adopt-A-Healthcare Facility Program (ADHFP) launch, organised by Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria @pshan_alliance themed “Bringing Quality Health Care to The Fingertips of Nigerians.”

According to the World Health Organisation, scaling up primary healthcare interventions could save 60 million lives in low and middle-income countries and increase average life expectancy by 3.7 years by 2030.

“Achieving the targets for PHC requires an additional investment of around $200 to $370 billion a year for a more comprehensive package of health services.

‘’At the UN high-level UHC meeting in 2020, countries committed to strengthening primary health care. WHO recommends that every country allocate or reallocate an additional one per cent of GDP to PHC from government and external funding sources,” WHO noted.

It maybe this commissioner is talking about another Lagos somewhere else, "maybe in Chad or Burundi". This can't be the Lagos Tinubu turn to Paris when he was governor of Lagos State(according to senseless APC supporters).

Peter Obi drove development to the grassroot and the common man in the remotest village felt the impact. When they say we should vote Thieffnubu to turn Nigeria to Lagos I laugh at their shallow reasoning. It simply means thiefnubuu has no plans for the poor and nothing to offer at grassroot level. Giving land to Lebanese cronies to built artificial city, how does that impact the common man in badagry village without access to primary healthcare?
Even Abia and Enugu state outperform Lagos in primary healthcare delivery

After borrowing over a trillion naira and with the greatest IGR in the federation that disappears into the pockets of some owambe politicians at Alausa, Lagos State health sector is still dragging for position with that of Osun state. Mind you, Lagos gets some of the biggest federal government allocations every month!
An economy bigger than that of Ghana but with infastructure as dilapidated as that of Gombe State, Lagos would have been another Ekiti if not for it's former federal capital status!

grin grin grin so funny reading all those comments above, not that I support any of the presidential candidates.
I have a question for those masturbating on this rather positive news. Which actually shows that the state gov is keeping track of health infrastructures/ facilities within the state. Quite unprecedented!

How many states in Nigeria has PHCs facility that is below 60% in reasonable standard conditions?
You find it worse else where averaging 85-99% sadly, with exception of Abuja.

For me, this is a very positive news, it shows a committed government that is in line to the improvement of facilities within the state.

You can't blame previous govt for such, because facilities disintegrate over time. It is the current government's responsibility to maintain and upgrade such facilities, as in this case. If other states in Nigeria Toe this pattern of administration, it will take us two steps forward in becoming a relevant country, in the sense of development.
