Our Achievements
Testimonials
I have learned a lot more from the Kaduna State PHC Management Capacity Strengthening Plan (KPMSP) than the OICs themselves. The entire exercise has created an avenue for us to engage directly with the Facility Managers. It has shown us that the Primary Health Care Under One Roof (PHCUOR) as we previously implemented did not percolate down to the facilities. It was essentially limited to the Zonal and LGA levels.
Please, permit me to thank the whole HSDF team for your tremendous support to our state. Our health workers are beginning to appreciate the essence of the eMTCT program. Data elements are not just abstracts required by the State Ministry of Health, but health workers are taking it now as indicators for assessing their contributions to the health of infants.
In terms of accountability and direct delivery of drugs and commodities to the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) facilities, one of the successes of the Drug Management Agency has been the Drug Revolving Facility (DRF) using the Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed (RACI) Matrix supported by HSDF.
