Plateau State government is to partner faith-based organisations to enable the residents have access to adequate healthcare delivery irrespective of where they reside.
Governor Simon Lalong gave this indication when he received the Secretary/Executive Director, Christian Health Association of Nigeria (CHAN), Mr Michael Idah, at Government House, Rayfield, Jos, when the later paid him a courtesy visit.
The governor who was represented by his deputy, Professor Sonni Tyoden, acknowledged faith-based organisations for complementing government’s effort at providing affordable healthcare services to the people especially those at the grassroots.
He, therefore, directed the Commissioner for Health to liaise with the group to articulate areas of partnership for successful implementation.
According to Idah, CHAN with its headquarters in Jos was established in 1973 to connect churches to sponsor programmes aimed at delivering qualitative healthcare to Nigerian citizens through its operating centres spread across all the states of the federation except Kebbi.
Mr Idah said they were at Government House on an advocacy visit and to dialogue with the government with a view to strengthening partnership on health-related interventions.
He commended the Plateau State government’s passion at ensuring universal healthcare coverage, pointing out that the health insurance policy of the state government was the first and the best health care services initiative among states in the country.
Idah also lauded Governor Lalong’s effort and zeal at combating the Covid-19 pandemic through the pragmatic steps taken while the severity of the disease lasted.
