Health workers in Osun State have been charged with rededicating themselves to qualify for service delivery as they embark on their duty of saving lives.
The executive secretary of Osun Primary Health Care Development Board, Dr Oluwole Fabiyi, gave the admonition at a seven-day training session for health workers across the state organised by the state Primary Health Care Development Board in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Dr Fabiyi, while welcoming participants and stakeholders in Osogbo, stated that training healthcare workers is part of measures taken by the Ademola Adeleke-led government to promote quality and accessible healthcare for residents.
The workshop, which drew participants from different Primary Health Care facilities in the state, had nurses, midwives, community health officers and community health extension workers on the ground for the intensive capacity-building training.
UNICEF Representative Mrs Elohor Micheal-Ezeh admonished the participants to replicate the knowledge acquired during the workshop to their fellow officers in their respective healthcare centres.
A consultant paediatrician/neonatologist at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Ile-ife Professor Ebunoluwa Adejuyigbe, donated an Artificial Resuscitator to all the participants to support them in their duty towards spontaneous health care delivery.
Also, the Director of Medical Services and Disease Control, Osun State Primary Health Care Development, who was also the programme coordinator, Dr Oluyemi Ogundun, urged health care workers across the state to work assiduously in their various Primary Health Care Centres to complement the government’s support in the Health Sector.
