The House of Representatives Committee on Health Services has advised that Primary Healthcare Centres should not be run by youth corps medical doctors because they are on transit during the national service.
Instead, such healthcare facilities should have medical doctors employed by the government posted to the third-tier healthcare centres.
Amos Magaji Gwamna, chairman of the committee, gave the advice during an interaction with the officials of the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health after an oversight duty to the state.
