Anambra to recruit 250 health workers for PHCs

The Anambra State Government is set to recruit 250 new health workers to bolster primary healthcare services, in response to concerns over absenteeism and low commitment from existing staff in public facilities. The new hires include 200 Community Health Extension Workers and 50 midwives. Dr. Chizoba Ezeasor, Executive Secretary of the Anambra State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (ASPHCDA), announced the recruitment during a capacity-building programme in Awka, aimed at enhancing maternal and child health systems.

The Anambra State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (ASPHCDA) emphasized the importance of selecting only qualified and committed professionals who are willing to reside in the communities where they would be deployed, to improve access to healthcare and promote accountability at the grassroots.
