The Anambra State Health Commissioner, Dr Vincent Okpala, has said that the ongoing training on data analysis, an organised collaboration with the State Government and EU/WHO will help to improve the health sector of the state.

Dr Okpala said this during the training/workshop on Data Analysis and Use, which kicked-off on Aug. 3 to end on Aug. 18 in Awka.

The commissioner noted that the state had a health system strengthening project with WHO as the implementing partner and EU as the funding partners.
He explained that data as the life of healthcare was very important and one of the basic building blocks of the healthcare system, also crucial in decision-making.

He revealed that the workshop is to train our Programme Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers from state and local government levels to learn how to manage and analyse data.
The Health Commissioner declared that proper analysis of data is key in every society, and commended EU/WHO for funding the programme and for their support towards improving the healthcare system of the state.
Head, Planning, Research and Statistics, Mrs Edith Nwachukwu, said that the training was split into Batches A, B, C and participants — Programme managers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers and the Partners.
