Checks across all the 256 newly renovated Primary Health Centres in all the three senatorial districts in the state revealed that workers perform under palpable fear of being vulnerable to the ravaging pandemic.
Some vocal centres among the PHCs have only three workers to attend to the patients and also expected to work overnight. According to health workers, “Government only provided two hand sanitizers, and two packs on nose mask which we distributed among all the centres in this ward. Meanwhile, we purchased the water tank bucket that is placed outside.
At a vocal healthcare centre in Osogbo, a senior nurse lamented that “ Ever since the pandemic in the state, the government provided two hand sanitizers, eight pieces of nose mask for all the workers and one PPE. Those things were just provided around May and nothing since then. “We have 886 functional health centres and 332 vocal health centres, we don’t have the resource to provide those kits for them. We have designated centres where we manage COVID-19. How do we give PPE – the expensive material – to centres where we will not be seeing, coronavirus patients.
