The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on health, Salma Anas, has said the poor attention to the Primary Health Care (PHC) system to Nigeria’s high morbidity and mortality rates, especially among those with pregnancy-related conditions.
Ms Anas said thus while speaking at the ongoing 7th annual conference of the Association of Nigeria Health Journalists (ANHEJ) in Akwanga, Nasarawa State.
She said the PHCs have issues of low healthcare coverage for life-saving interventions. Other problems, according to her, include ill-equipped and weak service delivery systems and low coverage with community and household-level interventions.
