According to him “RHCC Nigeria, backed by a strong partnership of Rotary and PATH, and guided by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, is designed to strengthen community healthcare systems by expanding access to quality healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations.
Furthermore, he stated that “By catching infections early, we expect to see significant reductions in severe disease and deaths in children under five.
He also revealed that RHCC Nigeria will implement in two states over a period of two years, and is supported by the Rotary Foundation and the Gates Foundation with PATH – OIPH as the Technical Partner in Nigeria.
