On the 19th of July 2019, The Academy for Health Development (AHEAD -PAS) with support from dRPC-PAS, Paaneah Foundation and the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan organised the 1st annual national reproductive health legacy forum, in honour of late Prof Babatunde Osotimehin, at the Otunba Subomi Balogun Conference Centre-University of Ibadan in Oyo state.

The PAS project through one of her implementing partner South Saharan Development Organization (SSDO-PAS) sponsored Anambra and Enugu States to attend the International Institute of Knowledge Management (TIIKM) 5th International Conference on Public Health 2019 which held on 10th-13th July 2019 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

To support their academic achievements and skill development, DAFI scholars receive additional support through close monitoring, academic preparatory and language classes based on students’ needs, as well as psychosocial support, mentoring and networking opportunities.

The spot check assessment conducted on the 255 prioritized PHCs identifies some key issues with regards to the implementation of the primary health care under one roof policy in the state.

The spot check further confirmed the fact that the 2019 Kaduna state health sector budget has no specific budget line for family planning activities. Only procurement of family planning/reproductive health commodities and consumable was captured in the Drug management agency (DMA) budget and allocated NGN 120,000,000 with no releases till date..

Following the spot check assessment of the 255 prioritized primary health centres (PHCs) key finding were identified as challenges to childhood killer diseases (CKD) implementation in the state.

The scholarships are funded by a number of individuals, trusts and foundations. LSTM’s Global Health programme has been designed in response to employer feedback on required global health skills and competencies.
