The Kano Drugs and Medical Consumables Supply Agency (DMCSA) says drug availability in public health facilities has increased from 30 per cent to more than 90 per cent within three years.
The Director-General of the agency, Mr Gali Sule, said this on Monday during a news conference in Kano to mark the third anniversary of Gov. Abba Yusuf’s administration.
Sule said the anniversary, which coincided with the third anniversary of his appointment on July 16, provided an opportunity to review the agency’s performance, achievements and future plans.
He said the agency, established to procure and distribute quality, affordable drugs and medical consumables to government-owned health facilities, had recorded significant progress under the current administration.
According to him, drug availability in public health facilities was about 30 per cent when the administration assumed office in 2023, leaving most essential medicines unavailable.
