The commissioner noted that the project was aimed at improving health care in the state by reducing maternal mortality adding that medical equipment were also procured for the smooth running of the project.

He stated that through the Impact Project, ultrasound machines were bought and distributed to LGAs while Skilled Birth Attendants (SBAs) were also hired to support frontline health workers in reducing maternal deaths.

In addition, he said 61 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) were being upgraded across the 18 LGAs of the state with plans to launch the PHCs soon.
