In a statement released by the Press Secretary of the agency, Alade Opeyemi, it was revealed that each Primary Health Care (PHC) facility in the state received a total of N4.6 million under the World Bank-assisted project.

These funds are earmarked for upgrading facilities and acquiring equipment to enhance basic healthcare services at the grassroots level.

Notable acquisitions include laboratory equipment in 193 PHCs, 30 ultrasound scan machines, 73 outreach tricycles, 186 outreach motorcycles, 186 desktop computers, and the sinking of 72 boreholes.

The statement clarified that the disbursement of funds followed the development of investment plans by each PHC in the state, considering the needs assessed before the project commenced.

Kwara State qualified for the World Bank IMPACTS program due to its investments in the basic healthcare sector, meeting specific criteria and fulfilling state counterpart fund payments.

The statement highlighted Kwara State's recognition with the National Award as the best state in primary healthcare in the central Nigeria region.

It emphasized the state's commitment to improving public confidence in the health system.
