Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said his administration was creating a robust grassroots healthcare.
Fashola spoke during the inauguration of a second comprehensive Primary Health Centre in Mosan-Okunola Local Council Development Area.
The governor, who urged residents to maximise the use of the centres, said PHC facilities in the state had been redesigned to operate a comprehensive 24 hours service to boost grassroot healthcare.
He said, “These new PHCs are designed to make cases of malaria, ante-natal and child delivery a local affair while difficult cases which the PHCs cannot cope with will see such patients referred to general hospitals and teaching hospitals.”
