From Ibrahim Sidi Muh’d, Gusau
A Nongovernmental Civil Society for Malaria Control, Immunization and Nutrition (ACOMIN) has warned that tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDs remained great challenges to public health in Zamfara State and Nigeria at large.
The warning was signalled by the Deputy State Coordinator, TB Network Zamfara State, Abdullahi Lawali Bungudu during a Step-Down Training on Community-led Monitoring (CLM) and Community Systems Strengthening (CSS) in Gusau, Zamfara State capital.
Bungudu who informed that, CLM empowered affected populations to play an active role in assessing the quality of health services, identifying gaps, and ensuring accountability in service delivery, also said CSS on the other hand, builds the capacity of community organizations, networks, and leaders to respond effectively.
Bungudu, further enlightened that, stronger communities mean stronger health systems, and stronger health systems mean better outcomes for TB, malaria, and HIV/AIDS interventions.
