The real challenge is human resources for health. We are working on a workforce audit & looking at what we can do to keep these facilities open for 24 hours, even if it means working with a few but ensuring that they are optimally utilised."-@Ik_E_Obi, Comm'r. for Health, Enugu.

It is critical to have a mechanism in place to assess a community's health needs and ensure that people who go to PHC receive quality & equitable services. PHC workers must be trained to understand data management and how it can affect public health"-Dr. Mary Boyd, @USCDCNIGERIA
