The Kwara State Government, under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has completed the rehabilitation of the Model Primary Healthcare Centre, Oke-Ose, in Ilorin East Local Government Area of the state.
The rehabilitation is part of the Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration’s effort to provide quality healthcare services for Kwarans and was achieved through the collaboration of the Kwara State Primary Healthcare Development Agency and the World Bank.
The healthcare centre, which serves patients from Oke-Oyi, Oke-Ose, and Alubosa, was previously deserted due to complaints about its dilapidated state and lack of modern medical equipment.
However, since the renovation, which included the provision of beds, solar power, boreholes, expansion of the maternity wards, and the supply of medical equipment, patients have returned and patronage has significantly improved.
Over the years, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has invested heavily in the state’s health sector, including the rehabilitation and construction of hospitals, the recruitment of health practitioners, and an increase in their take-home pay to ensure quality service delivery.
Hajia Fatimah Adeshina, Officer-in-Charge of the Primary Healthcare Centre, Oke-Ose, acknowledged that the healthcare centre had been in a bad condition for years. She lauded the government’s intervention and appreciated the Governor for his investment in the health sector.
