The maternal and child healthcare programme of the Ondo State Government has been declared as the best in Nigeria.
The coordinator of German Partner of the Rotary Maternal and Child Project, Robert Zinser, made the declaration during a courtesy visit to the state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, in his office in Akure on Monday.
Zinser noted that the government has set a standard in health sector that can compete with global best practices, adding that they were amazed at the world-class hospitals and facilities put in place by the state government to address maternal death in the state.
He said they were in the state to seek collaboration with the state government on Rotary International's quality assurance programme and door-to-door family planning of the organisation.
While corroborating the position of the organisation, chairman of the project in Nigeria, Kolawole Owoka, assured of their readiness to scale up maternal and child health in the state, stressing that the state government had the pace in healthcare for other states to copy.
In his response, Mimiko thanked the organisation for its positive role in addressing maternal death in Nigeria.
He assured that his government would key into the quality assurance programme of the project aimed at granting international accreditation and acceptability to facilities in all health facilities in the state.
