Kwara Trains Health Workers on Contraceptive Logistics Systems to Boost Family Planning Access

Date: 2025-04-16

The Kwara State Government has urged participants of an intensive training programme on the Revised Contraceptive Logistics Management System (CLMS) to actively apply their newly acquired skills to enhance healthcare delivery in their communities.

Commissioner for Health Dr. Amina Ahmed El-Imam issued the charge during a four-day workshop at G-Pinnacle Hotel in Ilorin, designed to train health workers on the Nigeria Health Logistics Management Information System (NHLMIS) and improve reproductive/family planning services.

Dr. El-Imam noted that the initiative, attended by representatives from all 16 Local Government Areas, was funded by the Kwara State Government in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) under the European Union's Strengthening Access to Reproductive and Adolescent Health (EU SARAH) Project.

El-Imam stressed that the training is aimed at strengthening the logistics and data management capacity of key personnel responsible for family planning across the state.

The Commissioner disclosed that the training is to ensure uninterrupted access to family planning commodities, especially in 'hard-to-reach areas'.

She emphasized the critical roles of the supervisors as frontline health ambassadors in their respective Local Government, hence the training, adding that the training is expected to enhance data-driven decision-making, improve supply chain efficiency, and ultimately ensure that no woman is left behind in accessing essential reproductive health services.

"You are the face of your Local Government Areas in this crucial area of reproductive health. You must work diligently to ensure that family planning commodities reach even the most remote communities.

"With the unwavering support of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, we are committed to improving access and outcomes in all 16 Local Government Areas in the state," Dr. El-Imam stated.

She further noted that the present administration is leveraging technical support from development partners including UNICEF and UNFPA, explaining that the government is set to collaborate with the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) to deepen reach and equity in commodity distribution.

"There will be zero tolerance for preventable challenges or excuses. Focus on the people you are privileged to serve and take this opportunity seriously," she urged the participants.

In her remarks, the State Focal Person for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Component of the European Union Strengthening Access to Reproductive and Adolescent Health (EU-SARAH) Project, Dr. Esther Shomefun, highlighted the significance of Kwara being the first state to implement the revised logistics system under the project.

"The expectations are high. If we are able to meet the set targets, we can significantly reduce preventable maternal deaths and ensure that every woman is empowered and protected from violence. This training is a key step toward that vision," Dr. Shomefun said.

The training is being attended by Family Planning Supervisors from all 16 Local Government Areas in the state as well as logistics officers from the State Ministry of Health.
