The Enugu State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the fight against HIV/AIDS through strategic partnerships, inclusive policies, and evidence-based interventions aimed at improving health outcomes for residents.
The Commissioner for Health, George Ugwu, said this on Friday while receiving executive members of the Network of People Living with HIV and AIDS in Nigeria (NEPWHAN), Enugu Chapter.
Mr Ugwu, a professor, said Governor Peter Mbah’s administration placed high priority on the health and well-being of residents, assuring that no one would be excluded from accessing essential healthcare services.
He highlighted ongoing reforms in the health sector, including the construction of Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres in every ward and the expansion of access to quality healthcare.
“The government has improved disease surveillance systems, healthcare workforce development, and collaboration with development partners to enhance HIV testing, treatment, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and viral load monitoring,” he said.
