As the North-east recovers from insurgency, the worst affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe have embarked on reviving the health sector, particularly Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the over-a-decade-old insurgency has seriously affected the health sector in the states, with many health centres destroyed in the three states.
A World Health Organisation (WHO) Health Resources Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS) report indicated that in 2019, only 30 per cent of health facilities in Borno State were fully functional, with 45 and 69 per cent in Adamawa and Yobe states, respectively.
