Health is wealth, In fulfillment of his campaign promises to Osun residents, Governor Demola Adeleke has commenced distribution of drugs and medical consumables to the 445 non-focal health centres across the State through the State Primary Healthcare Development Board.
The Executive Secretary, State Primary Healthcare Development Board, Dr. Samson Fabiyi said the drugs would be distributed to the three senatorial Districts, Saying the drugs had been provided in primary healthcare centres to be acessed free of charge across the state.
Dr. Fabiyi reiterated that Osun State Government would not relent in giving necessary support and aid to all government health centres in the state.
Justifying reasons why distribution of the drugs started in rural areas Dr. Fabiyi said that the grassroots is where health care delivery should be addressed first to safe more lives.
He explained that the programme was to address the challenge occasioned by the perennial ‘out of stock syndrome’ in the state.
He also said that the procurement of the drugs was in line with the vision of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s rescue mission, aimed at improving health care delivery in the state.
Dr. Fabiyi who appreciated Governor Adeleke for the gesture, also assured the government and Osun people that the drugs would serve the purpose for which they were procured, adding that the Agency had developed mechanisms to prevent diversion of the drugs.
