Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Bauchi State Government is set to close its Primary Healthcare Centers, PHCs, to safeguard the lives of both staff and patients, on the planned date of the proposed nationwide protests.<\/p>\n

The executive chairman of the Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Board, Dr Rilwanu Mohammed revealed this decision during a one-day bi-annual media engagement on PHC services reporting techniques held at the Polio Emergency Operation Centre, in Bauchi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to him, security reports indicate that PHCs are targets for attacks during the protest.<\/p>\n

Dr Mohammed said: \u201cOn the planned date, our health facilities\u2019 staff will be on holiday to avoid becoming victims of any attacks. Normal services will resume after the protest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He assured that the board has informed security agencies to ensure the facilities are protected from any aggression by protesters.<\/p>\n

Dr Mohammed also addressed efforts to tackle zero-dose immunisation issues in some local government areas, citing the media\u2019s role in this initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to immunise children during market days, naming ceremonies, and other gatherings where women and children are present,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted the board\u2019s collaboration with international partners to manage disease outbreaks and ensure comprehensive media involvement.<\/p>\n
