Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to making sure the state is Polio-free.
He revealed this as he received the International Observer Team of the Africa Regional Certification Commission led by Dr. Arienne King in Asaba.
Okowa, who noted that the state had not recorded any case of polio for 9 years now, told the team that his government would keep providing the right healthcare delivery to the people, especially primary healthcare.
His words, ”I believe that if we provide opportunities to attend to our people well at the primary healthcare level, it will be a lot easier to get them to be part of the immunization against polio and other diseases.
“As a government, we will continue to do what we can to ensure that our people are given effective healthcare at all times.
”The state had put down a road map to enable citizens to have access to healthcare through the state Contributory Health Scheme.”
