As the rainy season ushers in a high-risk period for malaria infections, Katsina State has committed 10 per cent of its health capitalisation funds to tackle the prevalence of Malaria in the state.

The declaration falls out to a proactive public health alert, unveiling strategic measures to combat the anticipated surge in cases.

In a joint press briefing, the state Commissioner for Health, Musa Adamu, and the Director General of the Katsina State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KTSCHMA), Alhaji Mohammed Safana, disclosed this to journalists in Katsina recently.

“Through KTSCHMA, we’ve committed 10 per cent of the capitation paid to healthcare providers as buffer savings to support a statewide malaria season response,” said Adamu. “We are acting before the emergency. Antimalarial drugs have already been stocked and distributed across health facilities in readiness.”

He emphasised that early preparation is vital to reducing the impact of seasonal diseases. The fund allocation, he noted, is part of a larger plan to create a resilient, responsive, and structured healthcare delivery system in Katsina.

The Commissioner also lauded the commitment of health workers throughout the state.

“These professionals are the backbone of our system. Their dedication is what keeps our communities safe and our healthcare moving forward,” he said.

In addition to the malaria intervention, Katsina is embracing digital innovation to transform healthcare access. Alhaji Mohammed Safana revealed the official launch of a user-friendly online portal designed to simplify public interaction with the KTSCHMA system.

“With this new platform, residents can now register, update their details, change healthcare providers, and even lodge complaints all from a mobile phone or any internet-enabled device,” Safana stated.

The digital health portal also allows users to monitor hospital visits, access their treatment history, and receive timely reminders for follow-up appointments. “This is about more than convenience,” Safana noted. “It’s about building public trust, ensuring transparency, and improving service delivery.”

He acknowledged the challenges that remain, such as occasional delays in registration and drug availability, but emphasised that these are being addressed through continuous improvements in system management.

“This portal is only one part of a broader reform. We’re listening to our people, adapting where necessary, and always striving to do better. The rainy season is a test, and we’re ready,” he said.

The combination of early planning, strategic funding, and digital transformation underscores Katsina State’s commitment to protecting public health and modernising healthcare systems to better serve its population.
