The Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) and Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation have commissioned four renovated Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in Edo State.

The renovated PHCs, part of the Adopt-a-Healthcare Facility Programme (ADHFP), will provide improved maternal and child health, immunizations and outpatient services.

The renovated centres, located in Atoruru, Ute, Evbuodia, and Idunmungha, were commissioned on September 13, 2024, marking a major milestone in the Adopt-a-Healthcare Facility Programme (ADHFP). This initiative aims to improve healthcare accessibility and quality in underserved communities.

According to Mrs. Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Co-Founder and Executive Vice Chair of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, “A healthy population is the cornerstone of sustainable development. We’re committed to bridging the healthcare gap in Nigeria by revitalizing Primary Healthcare Centres.”

Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe, MD/CEO of PSHAN, noted, “Our pilot facilities have seen significant increases in outpatient attendance, maternal care registrations, and immunizations – 91% and 832% growth in outpatient attendance and antenatal care registrations, respectively, in 2023 alone.”

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has committed millions of naira to renovating 23 PHCs across Nigeria under the ADHFP. This partnership between PSHAN and the Foundation is part of a broader strategy to accelerate improvements in health outcomes nationwide.

Our MD/CEO, Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe, recently served as a distinguished member of the 2023/2024 AIG Public Leaders Programme (PLP) Capstone Projects Review Panel that culminated in the graduation of the third cohort of the AIG Public Leaders Programme (AIG PLP).

The AIG Public Leaders Programme is an executive education programme aimed at public servants currently at the Directorate level who have the potential to be change-makers in their organisations. The programme is delivered via synchronous and asynchronous methods with one in-person teaching week followed by the 10-week capstone development by participants. The capstone projects allow participants to apply key learnings from the programme to their day-to-day work.

Run by the AIG Foundation in conjunction with the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, the programme continues to offer emerging African public sector leaders a unique opportunity to develop their leadership capacity and acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to drive change.

Applications to join the fourth cohort of the AIG Public Leaders programme are still open. Visit https://www.aigimoukhuedefoundation.org/leaders-programme to apply

On Monday, 20th November 2023, the Edo State Government @edostategovt formalized the partnership with the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation @aigfoundation and Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) by signing a memorandum of agreement with the other two parties. The primary objective of this collaboration is to enhance the resilience of the healthcare system in the state.

As part of this agreement, 18 Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) are set to be revitalized across Edo state.

The signing ceremony was conducted in the presence of the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, who was represented by the Secretary to the Edo State Government, Osarodion Ogie Esq., Mrs Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede, Executive Vice Chair, Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation and Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe, MD/CEO of the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN).

With this collaboration, PSHAN is poised to implement and accelerate improvement in health outcomes for the people of Edo state which is a stepping stone towards the goal of achieving equitable and affordable healthcare for all Nigerians.

Speaking during the Africa-UK summit at a session on “Health Financing and the role of business”, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, pointed out the fact that the per capita spend of African governments on healthcare is hardly enough to cater to the needs of the complex healthcare challenges facing the continent.

He zoned in on the private sector’s role in closing the funding gap and hailed the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria, PSHAN’s Adopt-A-Healthcare-Facility Programme (ADHFP) as an innovative solution to increase access to affordable quality primary healthcare across the country, one which the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has already tapped into by adopting 23 primary healthcare centres, a commitment of N2.3 billion.

This will ensure that the healthcare centres have the right equipment, medical staff and drugs to provide comprehensive healthcare services in the communities for a 5 year period.

The Africa-UK summit was an amazing opportunity to improve healthcare services across Africa by exploring why it matters, and how the UK can be involved.
We were proud to have had our CEO, Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe confer an award of recognition to honour the Aig-Imoukhuede foundation for their contributions to healthcare development in Nigeria. Their recent adoption of 23 PHCs would go a long way to address issues of poor and inadequate healthcare across the country.
We sincerely thank GBC Health for the platform and opportunity to network for healthcare and look forward to more power gatherings for innovations in healthcare.
