“We cannot continue to live like this. Our children and pregnant women in this community need adequate healthcare services, which was provided to us at Awotan Orisun Healthcare Centre. Now that the government has shut down the facility, we are helpless,” a trader at Onigbaketun community, Mrs Balikis Adeyemi, said in an interview with LEADERSHIP.

The NHAct sets out the important drivers to guide disbursement of the BHCPF. These “Payment Gateways” are in three-fold and the Act states that 50 per cent of the Fund shall be disbursed through the National Health Insurance Scheme and deployed towards the provision of the Basic Minimum Package Health Scheme in eligible primary or secondary health care facilities.

In Oyo state, for instance, LEADERSHIP findings showed that the state government paid a sum of N100 million as counterpart funding for the Basic Health Care Fund project and so far, about 351 PHCs, are eligible for BHCPF. “So far, we have received from the BHCPF, N601,000 and we plan to use the funds to purchase essential drugs, to renovate the PHC, buy equipment like thermometer and stethoscope etc. We also need to print receipt and vouchers and carryout community mobilization/outreach programme.

With the disbursement of the funds this year, the matron said parts of the N600,000 have been used to fix the bed springs, buy delivery couch, fix the antenatal area, buy chairs and bed lining, among others.
