The Adamawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (ASPHCDA) has launched an innovative operational shift known as “Integrated Services” to enhance healthcare delivery in the state. This strategic move aims to provide a combination of essential health interventions, including immunization, deworming, and nutrition services, simultaneously at the point of delivery.
The Executive Chairman of ASPHCDA, Dr. Sulaiman Bashir, while addressing journalists in Yola, Adamawa state capital, explained that the new strategy is designed to streamline healthcare operations, reduce costs, and expand outreach, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. With this approach, communities can access multiple services during a single visit, saving time and enhancing coverage.
Dr. Bashir highlighted the agency’s significant progress in improving immunisation rates, expanding family health services, and promoting community engagement.
