Primary health care is a grassroot approach towards universal and equitable health care for all. However, some primary health care centers in the country often lack the capacity to provide essential health-care services, due to challenges like inadequate equipment, poor infrastructure and lack of essential drugs.

In addition to her contribution to capacity development of Health Care Professionals, Nestlé Nigeria is contributing to changing the narrative with refurbishment of facilities and equipping of the laboratory at Ajaka Primary Health Care Center in Sagamu. This intervention will help improve the delivery of healthcare services to over 200,000 indigenes who depend on the centre.

Nestlé Nigeria completely renovated the buildings within the center, constructed sanitation facilities and a kitchenette. The company also installed an alternate source of power supply and built a new laboratory equipped with new equipment.

To address the security challenges experienced by the centre, Nestlé Nigeria built a perimeter fence around the facility and installed gates to control access.

This intervention supports the Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Well Being. It is also in line with Ogun State Government’s efforts to ensure sustainability of primary health care in the state.

“On behalf of the Government of Ogun State and the entire health team, I appreciate the Management of Nestlé Nigeria for partnering with Ogun State Government on this unquantifiable gesture in the delivery of qualitative health services to the good people of Sagamu Local Government through the provision of a conducive and patient friendly environment. The Ogun State Government welcomes collaboration from the private sector towards the improvement of primary health care infrastructures and provision of acceptable level of health-care services for all, thereby reducing the gross inequality in health status of her citizens,” he said.
