Lagos Health District IV Begins Routine Monitoring / Evaluation Of Primary Healthcare Facilities Across Jurisdiction

 Lagos State Health District IV has commenced a systematic process of collecting and analyzing data to assess the effectiveness of the primary healthcare centers across the district, which is fundamental for all the facilities.

The health workforce team of the district is engaging directly with health workers in the primary healthcare centers to educate them on safety and trust across healthcare facilities in the local government areas and local council development areas.

According to a statement by Oputeh Michael

Public Affairs Officer, Lagos State Health District IV , the initiative was part of the district’s commitment to bridging the communication gap between the district and primary healthcare centers, ensuring that the ultimate beneficiaries receive quality healthcare services.

The Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Health District IV, Dr. Abimbola Bowale, represented by Dr. Oni Titilola, head of the health workforce team, was quoted  explaining the district’s roles and responsibilities.

 She emphasized that it is the district’s mandate to protect the health and safety of the people.

She further highlighted that the district’s renewed focus on routine monitoring and evaluation is driven by the recognition that regulation alone is not enough and that all primary healthcare centers under District IV must be properly informed on how to provide the right healthcare services to patients.

Dr. Oni reaffirmed that the district will continue to organize similar routine monitoring and evaluation activities to engage all primary healthcare centers across the local government areas and local council development areas covered by District IV.
