Ondo organises refresher training for health workers

TO update the knowledge of its workers for effective
performance in the health sector, the Ondo State Government
has organised a thorough training for Result Based Financing
(RBF).
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Dayo Adeyanju, who spoke at
the event at the weekend said that the training was in line with
the directive of the Joint Monitoring Team that recently visited
the state from Abuja.
According to him, the state government would continue to
provide qualitative healthcare to all and sundry, noting that the
refresher training would help maximise the output of the health
system.
He promised that government would continue to support RBF
where necessary in order to achieve a common goal.
Earlier, the Executive Secretary, Primary Health Care
Development Board, Dr. Olugbenga Osunmakinwa, informed
that the essence of the training was to identify areas of
challenges with a view to finding solution that will help to
achieve the target goal.
He expressed optimism that with the refresher training,
participants would come out with better understanding of the
project.
The Nigeria State Health Investment Project (NSHIP)
Coordinator in Ondo State, Dr. Omobola Ige, stressed the
importance of the training, explaining that it would go a long
way in up-dating the personnel’s knowledge.
She enjoined the participants to always put in their best so as
to justify the reason for organising the training; while the
NSHIP representative, Pharmacist Lami, responding on behalf
of partcipants, admitted that the training was timely,
describing it as a right step in a right direction.
