The Ondo State Government has issued a stern warning to health workers across the state’s 18 Local Government Areas over poor performance
The Ondo State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (OSPHCDA) stated that the continued employment of health workers will now be tied to their performance on key health indicators.
Dr. Francis Akanbiemu, the agency’s Permanent Secretary, delivered the warning on Sunday while addressing primary healthcare directors from all local government areas. He expressed concern over the low performance in critical areas, particularly immunisation, urging workers to step up or risk being replaced.
“Primary health workers have no excuse for underperformance, considering Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration has made significant investments in the primary healthcare sector, including key ongoing projects and the recruitment of additional medical doctors and health workers to boost service delivery,” Akanbiemu said. “Henceforth, performance will determine their continued stay in office.”
He also encouraged health workers to conduct outreach and sensitisation programs to increase immunisation uptake among children, noting that Ondo State has historically performed well in this area. Plans are reportedly underway to address challenges faced by staff in rural and hard-to-reach communities to ensure adequate service delivery at the grassroots.
