The Director General of Cross River State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Betta Edu
yesterday ordered the immediate replacement of the ward officer in-charge of
the Wule Primary Health care Center, Mr. Edo Benard who doubles as the Ward
Focal Person.
This happened when Dr Edu paid a
surprise visit to the health facility located in Wule, Boki LGA in one of her
routine tours across the 18 local government areas of the state to inspect Primary
Health care Facilities.
Expressing her disappointment over the undeniable
decaying infrastructure in the Health Center due to cumulative dirt, poor
management of equipment and the lackluster attitude of health workers, the DG immediately
ordered for the replacement of ward focal person and every other person in the
facility.
Decrying the poor state of management, Dr Edu did not
exonerate the PHC Coordinator and PHC Doctor of Boki from blames as she faulted
their supportive supervision of Health centers across Boki.
She said with declining unprofessional and non adherence
to best practices of primary healthcare management system in boki, the health
center will be in total dismay if the people working in the facilities were not
sanction and replace as this will served as deterrent to others.
Dr Edu said time has come for Proper coordination, and
commitment to development of primary healthcare in the State while sounding a
warning note to all head of healthcare facilities across the state to sit up or
resign their position to those willing to work.
Addressing members
of the community, Dr. Edu assured them that
the health center will be rehabilitated and new hands will be sent to managed
the facility as the people of Wula deserved quality and better healthcare
services.
