Pregnant women are left in the care of overstretched Community Health Workers struggling without adequate support or equipment. Healthcare should save lives not gamble with them. We demand: ✔️ Functional PHCs ✔️ Skilled health workers ✔️ Basic infrastructure ✔️ Accountability

PHC Reality Check in Abia State @alexottiofr , @NphcdaNG In communities like Usaka, Ovim, and Ndudu in Abia State, healthcare centres exist but many are barely functional. No doctors. No midwives. No light. No water.

@Ahmedaliyuskt , @NphcdaNG Only 12% of PHCs in Sokoto State have functioning ambulances. Meaning: ❌ Most patients arrange transport themselves ❌ Emergency care is delayed ❌ Rural families travel long distances for treatment For many patients, delay can become deadly.

@Ahmedaliyuskt, @NphcdaNG Sokoto State, over 73,815 patients were referred from PHCs to secondary and tertiary hospitals in 2024 alone. 67% of those cases were illnesses PHCs should handle:• Malaria• Diarrhea• Minor injuries• Normal pregnancies When primary healthcare fails, hospitals become overcrowded and lives are put at risk. Nigeria cannot build a strong healthcare system without functional PHCs at the grassroots.

@NphcdaNG, @Ahmedaliyuskt At Usmanu Danfodiyo Teaching Hospital in Sokoto, Zainab Mujahidu waits under a tree, hungry and exhausted, while her 5-year-old grandson recovers from sexual assault. The nearest PHC reportedly had no drugs, equipment or emergency support. The family was told to travel to Sokoto for treatment. Saddiqu’s story reflects the reality many rural families face: delayed care, overcrowded hospitals and under-equipped PHCs. Behind every healthcare statistic is a human story.

A throwback of the Orodata Science x @Africa_DataHub Hackathon brought together innovators, technologists, and public health stakeholders to co-create data-driven solutions for critical healthcare challenges. Innovation. Collaboration. Impact.

@alexottiofr @NphcdaNG Rural health facilities in Abia State; Usaka (Ikwuano), Ovim (Isuikwuato), and Ndudu (Arochukwu) remain in a critical state. These communities are also burdened by insecurity, displacement, and recurring border disputes, further restricting access to essential healthcare services. We demand urgent action: • Immediate rehabilitation of rural health centres • Stronger interventions to restore safety and stability Healthcare is a fundamental right, and rural communities must not be left behind.

What does it mean to give birth in a facility with a bed , but no monitoring or emergency tools? @alexottiofr, @NphcdaNG In Abia State: 93% of PHC's lack infusion pumps 87% of PHC's lack fetal monitors 100% of PHC's lack newborn resuscitation equipment. Beds exist but Safety doesn’t. These are not just gaps,they are risks to lives. We demand more than beds but life-saving equipments.

PHC Reality Check @alexottiofr , @NphcdaNG In parts of Abia State, primary healthcare exists ,but only on paper. 📍 Usaka 📍 Ovim 📍 Ndudu No doctors. No midwives. No light. No water. Yet, women still go there to give birth. A Community Health Worker shared: "I work without light, without water, without equipment. I do everything alone." This is not healthcare. This is survival. Behind every statistic is a mother taking a risk,a health worker stretched beyond limits, a system that is failing quietly. We demand Doctors, midwives ,light ,water, acountability. PHCs in Abia must work,not just exist. This is healthcare, not a gamble.

@alexottiofr , @NphcdaNG Recent field data paints a stark picture of primary healthcare collapse in border communities of Abia State. Key findings: • 0 Medical Staff in several clinics no doctors, nurses, or midwives on duty • Critical drug shortages , essential medicines are largely unavailable • Severe service breakdown , most facilities cannot provide basic care • Access barriers remain high , insecurity and poor infrastructure limit movement and response What remains is not a functioning system, but structures without service. Data like this is not just reporting ,it is a call for urgent accountability and intervention Source : @checkmyphc Crestnews | @Africa_DataHub UTOMOBONG ABIA Read more here :bit.ly/4d44roc #HealthcareAccess #Nigeria #PHC #PublicHealth #DataForImpact #FixPHC #NigeriaHealth #HealthSystems #PrimaryHealthcare

@alexottiofr, @NphcdaNG Abia State’s primary healthcare system at a glance: • Unsafe & deteriorating facilities • Limited access to clean water • Shortage of health workers • Inadequate drugs, vaccines & equipment Ibeku West PHC reflects the broader crisis,where accessing basic care can mean risking lives. Bottom line: Primary healthcare is under strain and urgent investment is needed. #AbiaState #NigeriaHealth #PrimaryHealthcare Read more : bit.ly/3OVSPLQ Source:Checkmyphc Naijanewshouse | @Africa_DataHub UTOMOBONG ABIA.
