National Primary Health Care Agency Set To Recruit Health Workers

A national primary health care agency is set to recruit categories of health workers to strengthen its operations.

It is the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), and it has approved the recruitment of 2,440 Community Health Workers to be deployed across all 244 wards of Sokoto State.

The recruitment is a fallout of its collaboration with the Sokoto State Government (SOSG)

The new recruits will be strategically posted to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the state to enhance service delivery and expand access to essential health services at the grassroots, the Sokoto State government has said.

It adds that the initiative reflects the commitment of the Governor, Dr. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto’s administration, to tackling unemployment, empowering citizens with meaningful job opportunities, and strengthening the State’s primary healthcare system.
