Cross River State Primary Health Care Development Agency (CRSPHCDA) Director General, Dr. Betta Edu has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing a new Executive Director (ED) for the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA).
In this ordeal, Dr. Betta made known in a statement issued in Vienna to congratulate the new ED, Professor Echezona Ezeanolue where she said President Buhari has demonstrated his will to re-position the health care system in the country, especially the primary health system which she says has been made a priority.
Dr Edu’s statement reads, “We receive with enthusiasm the news of the appointment of the new Executive Director and we congratulate president Buhari for his continuous effort to strengthen PHC (sic) in Nigeria especially with his administration’s policy in health centred on primary health care.
“However, we must advise our new ED that his job is humongous and for him to succeed he must deliberately carry along his foot soldiers, the head of SPHCDA in all the states as well as other key stakeholders. We must be innovative in the face of tight economic times and our programmes and intervention must remain people centred”.
