What Our Partners Say

Stories and reflections from partners and communities, highlighting shared efforts and lasting impact

This training reminded us that every baby is expected to cry within the first minute of birth, and it's our duty as skilled birth attendants to make that happen.

Nurse Ajayi CNO LSPHCB

On behalf of Umunduka PHC in Okigwe LGA and all the DAC facilities in Okigwe, We appreciate the DAC team members for their supportive supervision in our various facilities yesterday. You guys are wonderful, may the good Lord continue to bless each and every one of us for the good work we're doing.

DAC Stakeholders Businessman

I'm truly grateful for this BEmONC training. The practical sessions have boosted my confidence, deepened my understanding, and has prepared me better for real-life emergencies.

Nurse Ademoye SNM Ayantuga PHC, Mushin LGA

I'm truly grateful for this BEmONC training. The practical sessions have boosted my confidence, deepened my understanding, and has prepared me better for real-life emergencies.

Nurse Ademoye SNM Ayantuga PHC, Mushin LGA

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.

Pharmacist Adamu Audi Executive Director, Niger State Drug Management Agency

Owerri Municipal says a very BIG THANK YOU to all our resource persons and all the team in DAC and HSDF for their highly supportive mentorship and supervision to our facility today, and also coming at the right time when our consumables were needed most. THE MANAGEMENT, ENTIRE STAFF AND STUDENTS WHO WERE ENGAGED TODAY AT HOLY FAMILY HOSPITAL SAYS THANK YOU AND MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS. IT'S NOT EASY REACHING OUT TO US.

Holy Family Hospital Ikenegbu Owerri Municipal

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.

Dr Hamza Abubakar Executive Secretary, Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board

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.

Dr John Markson Former State AIDS Program Coordinator, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
