Intro

The administration of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has marked another milestone in the health sector, delivering widespread improvements that directly impact citizens across all 18 Local Government Areas of Ondo State. Under the OUR EASE Agenda, the governor’s health revitalization programme is designed to strengthen primary healthcare, upgrade medical facilities, improve service delivery, and ensure citizens have access to quality and affordable healthcare.

These interventions reflect the governor’s firm belief that a healthy population is the backbone of sustainable development.

Renewed Focus on Primary Healthcare

Primary health facilities remain the first point of contact for many households, especially in rural communities. Governor Aiyedatiwa’s revitalization drive includes:

• ✔ Rehabilitation of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs)
• Dilapidated structures across several LGAs have been repaired and upgraded to ensure a clean, safe, and functional environment for patients.
• ✔ Provision of essential medical equipment
• Diagnostic tools, hospital beds, delivery kits, refrigerators for vaccine storage, and life-saving equipment have been supplied to improve capacity and service quality.
• ✔ Improved staffing and workforce support
• Recruitment and redistribution of healthcare professionals are helping to close gaps in underserved communities.
• Strengthening Immunization & Maternal Care

To reduce preventable illnesses and maternal risks, the state has:

• Expanded routine immunization campaigns
• Strengthened maternal and child health programmes
• Distributed medical consumables across PHCs
• Trained health workers on modern care protocols

These efforts are already contributing to better maternal outcomes and lowering incidences of childhood diseases.

Modernizing General Hospitals Across LGAs

Beyond primary healthcare, general hospitals in several LGAs have seen significant improvements:

• ✔ Renovation of wards and emergency units
• Cleaner, better-equipped wards are enhancing patient experience across major hospitals.
• ✔ Upgrading laboratory and diagnostic services
• Modern diagnostic equipment has been deployed to improve early detection and reduce referrals.
• ✔ Power and water stabilization

Solar systems, generators, and water infrastructure upgrades now ensure that hospitals operate more efficiently and consistently.

Responsive Healthcare for a Growing Population

Governor Aiyedatiwa’s revitalization agenda responds directly to the needs of communities. Citizens across the LGAs now enjoy:

• More reliable access to healthcare
• Faster response times in emergencies
• Reduced cost burdens on families
• A more functional health support system
• Health facilities that meet acceptable standards

This reinforces the administration’s commitment to building a healthier, safer, and more productive population.

A Vision Anchored on the OUR EASE Agenda

The health sector revitalization aligns with the E – Efficient Healthcare and Socio-Economic Welfare pillar of the OUR EASE Blueprint.

Through continuous investment, monitoring, and collaboration with development partners, the state government aims to:

• Upgrade more facilities

• Promote preventive healthcare
• Ensure no community is left behind
