Description

A visit to Asata Primary Health Centre in Ogui community, Enugu North Senatorial District of Enugu State revealed the poor state typical of these centres around Nigeria and the struggle of their workers to deliver services to patients, especially at the grassroots.
“We use torchlight or our phone light to deliver women at night or whenever the room is dark”, an official at the centre in Asata told our reporter on condition of anonymity to avoid victimisation.
“Though this facility looks very small, a lot of people visit here on a daily basis. But because of lack of funds, people have been suffering severely to the extent that some of our staff cannot even afford transportation fares to come to work on daily basis.
