Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Yusuf has distributed 88 motorcycles and five operational vehicles to aid the mobility of front-line health workers in implementing various health programmes in the state.
The distribution was conducted during an event at the Government House, Kano.
This was contained in a press statement issued yesterday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
The Governor distributed 88 motorcycles and three units of four-wheel-drive utility Toyota vehicles, which are support provided by the Global Fund to Supervisors and their Assistants to ensure effective coordination and transport of program commodities that will help in the identification of Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Malaria, and HIV.
On the other hand, two operational vehicles were presented for the operations of Immunization Plus Malaria Progress by Accelerating Coverage and Transform Services (IMPACT), a high-impact project for the transformation of the PHC system in Nigeria aimed at improving routine immunization, skilled birth delivery, and the reduction of under-five mortality, among other things.
Yusuf admonished the proper use of vehicles and motorcycles to achieve the goal of providing them and promoting better health care services delivery in the state.
