With the addition of the Ogele Primary Health Care Centre, Ogele Ward, Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, on Tuesday, the efforts to elevate the quality of healthcare delivery accessible to the people at the grassroots reached another climax as the Senator representing Kwara Central, Dr Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe, has thus far facilitated medical equipment of various type to no fewer than 12 Primary Health Care Centres and comprehensive renovation of decayed health facilities for improved services to the people of Kwara Central Senatorial District.
This gesture is in complement to the previous milestones that had been recorded in the pursuit of the enduring zeal to strengthen community-based health services to afford people, irrespective of socio-economic status, access to quality health services and wipe away the barriers that vitiate healthcare delivery.
