The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) and some members of the House of Representatives have called for more actions to revive the dwindling fortunes of primary healthcare in the country. They made the call in a communique at the end of a two-day retreat for members of relevant committees on revitalization of primary health care in Nigeria held in Owerri, Imo State and organised by the House of Representatives committees on Health and Appropriations in conjunction with CISLAC.

 

The retreat on Primary Health Care Revitalization in Nigeria was under the aegis of a project titled “Reinvestment: Increasing Legislative Oversight on Primary Health Care in Nigeria”.

 

It was aimed at providing an enabling platform for legislators to interact in proffering holistic solutions to the current trend and challenges confronting adequate, accessible and effective Primary Health Care system in the South East geo-political zone and also on the need to revitalize the system for high impact and efficiency.
