The Kaduna State government has announced plans to upgrade 255 health clinics in the state’s 255 political wards within the next six months.

The focal Person of the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund in the Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board, Danjuma Muhammed, stated this on the sidelines of a two-day Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Anchor IV grant project assessment meeting organised by Save the Children International held in Kaduna.
Danjuma explained that the upgrade is part of the state government efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage.

He noted that the clinics would be raised to phase two standards, which include being climate-resilient, having at least 13 rooms, running water, adequate toilets, and accommodation for staff.
According to Danjuma, about 185 of the clinics have already been upgraded with solar systems, and the state government has also secured funding to revitalise 143 facilities within the next six weeks.

“The idea came from the National Assembly as one of the achievements the current administration wants to accomplish as far as Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is concerned, and one of the cardinal ways of achieving this is to ensure that our PHCs meet the recommended standard.
