The Ogun State Government has shown its commitment to capacity building programmes for healthcare workers, so as to keep them abreast of new trends in health care delivery for the benefit of residents, particularly, those at the grassroots.
The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker made this assertion in Abeokuta, while speaking at the opening of a two-day training on Mental Health Service Delivery in Primary Health Care Centres (PHCs), organised in collaboration with the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, for 118 primary health care workers across the State.
Dr. Coker, in a statement signed by the Ogun State Primary Health Care Development Board (OGPHCDB)’s Press Officer, Mrs. Yemisi Fashola, described the initiative as a laudable step meant to improve the wellbeing of residents and meet the mental health needs of the people, especially at the community level.
