LOADING!!!!!!!!!!!90% completed.. THE MANIFESTOS/LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENTS OF DR. M B NUHU. ...ON HEALTH The primary health care (PHC) facility is often all that rural communities have in form of a formal health system. How then do we improve the quality of care when attention has consistently been on expanding the reach of PHC services to rural populations and hardly on quality of services? The presence of a PHC facility does not guarantee its use and there is a wrong assumption that a minimal level of input (i.e. infrastructure and staff) is essential before one can discuss quality. Below are some of the problems of our PHC. Lack of enough publicity: Most people don’t know these healthcare centers are there. This limits their patronage. Poor or no community buy-in the running of the health care centers: Our politicians think health care is only the buildings and facilities. In a country where a lot people are still illiterates the importance of community buy in cannot be over emphasized. This effectively has not made it easy for primary health care in our communities to be “People-Centered” Lack of adequate number of personnel to man these centers: This could be blamed on brain drain poor motivation of medical personnel. Poor Suppervision: Even when quality becomes a real issue, it is often about supervision; but supervision is a poor proxy for quality. The quality of supervision itself is what matters. Handled poorly, this becomes a vicious circle: poor supervision results in low quality of services and low quality of services set a low standard for supervision. PHC delivery system is an area that is dear to Dr. Muhammad Bashar Nuhu considering the hardship experienced by the people living in the rural areas and villages particularly women and children. The manifestos would provide solutions to the above listed PHC maladies through effective legislation and equally showcase some contribution of the Dr. towards PHC in the constituency over the years. The picture above is one of such contributions. A renovated a equipped PHC in KUTA. NOTE: the full script is still in the pipeline. Coming Soon!!!!!!!! CANVASS FOR DR. MB NUHU 4 REPS. May Allah See us through. Amin
