ZAMFARA Government on Wednesday said it was partnering with the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in mobilising communities on health-related issues.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof Abdullahi Shinkafi, made this known at a quarterly meeting on “Hard To Reach (HTR) communities” organised by UNICEF in Gusau.
The SSG said “we have realised that over time, we have been concentrating on curative measures on diseases which is why we developed a new programme on preventive measures campaign.”
He added that the state government had already set up a committee to be headed by the SSG with members including commissioners, traditional rulers and the Sokoto Field Officer of UNICEF.
Shinkafi, who commended the fund for reaching out to the hard to reach communities and supporting them with healthcare services, noted that “the state government is taking necessary steps to sustain the programme as UNICEF rounds up the HTR programme”.
Earlier, the UNICEF Sokoto Field Officer, Mr Muhammad Muhiuddin, said the fund had in the last one year reached out to and sustained the provision of healthcare services to 250 communities.
He said the fund would continue to support the state government with advises such as the introduction of mobile clinics and mobilisation “so that communities would be catered for under the healthcare services provision”.
