Save the Children International and the Legislative Advocacy Initiative for Sustainable Development (LISDEL), have organized a legislative engagement workshop for members of the Kaduna State House of Assembly to enhance their capacities to accelerate Universal Health Coverage.
It is also expected to develop a Legislative Health Agenda for 2022/2023 that would guide legislative interventions in the state.
Speaking at the commencement of the workshop, the Deputy Speaker Dr. Isaac Auta said they were in Kano to improve the capacity of their members, especially on oversight functions, and to improve the health system in Kaduna State.
“So we are all here to get such information from resource persons. We were given a monogram on how the Kaduna Health system works and we were briefed on Primary Health Care…I can see something that’s going to improve the healthcare system especially now that the legislators are ready to even do more on their oversight functions and see what is happening .”
He said the Assembly takes matters of health seriously and members were at the workshop to take their responsibilities on their shoulders.
