Tracka, a public expenditure monitoring body, has expressed alarm over the substandard condition of Majaga Primary Health Care Centre in Toto Local Government Area, Nasarawa State. Their concern stems from a recent inspection of the facility, identified as the sole government-run healthcare option for the Majaga community. Tracka stated that the health centre was functioning without crucial amenities such as potable water, a pharmacy, lab services, and an injection room.
They further noted that the labour and consulting rooms were in a poor state, the centre had a shortage of beds, and lacked wards and accommodations for healthcare workers. The unhygienic environment of the facility could pose serious risks, especially to pregnant women and patients in need of immediate medical attention. Tracka appealed to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) and the Nasarawa State Government, headed by Governor Abdullahi Sule, to quickly restore, equip, and improve the health centre.
They emphasized that access to functional primary healthcare is vital, particularly in rural areas where residents often have few alternatives when government health centres fail to deliver basic services. The residents of Majaga and surrounding areas have long raised concerns about the health centre's state, demanding more substantial government investment in rural healthcare infrastructure.
