The condition of the facility is particularly concerning because it serves as the only government health facility available to more than 2,800 people in the community.
Amid growing calls for government intervention, the Majaga Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) in the Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, the only government health facility serving more than 2800 residents in the community, has been found in a state of disrepair.
A monitoring visit to the facility by Socio-Accountability platform, Tracka, revealed major gaps in basic healthcare infrastructure and services, raising concerns over the ability of the PHC to provide safe and adequate medical care to residents who depend on it.
According to Tracka in a statement on Monday, the monitoring team during the visit observed the condition of the facility was alarming, noting that the PHC lacks essential infrastructure including water, a pharmacy, laboratory and injection room.
It also identified poor labour and consulting rooms, inadequate beds, absence of wards and lack of staff quarters among the challenges confronting the facility.
