Bayelsa State Government has expressed optimism that the collaboration with the local government councils in revamping health facilities would yield the desired results for optimal service delivery.
Professor Seiyefa Brisibe, the State Commissioner for Health, made the assertion during his ongoing Health Facility Assessment Tour to Southern Ijaw Local Government Area and some part of Yenagoa Local Government Area.
According to professor Brisibe, the collaboration would drive utilization and stem issues of maintenance amongst others.
“It is a partnership that would ensure that there is collaboration between the political leadership of the local government, the ward health development committees and those managing the health facilities” Professor Brisibe said.
