EU Expands Reproductive Health Support in Kwara State
The European Union (EU) has announced plans to expand its support for reproductive and adolescent health services in Kwara State under the EU-SARAH programme. Massimo De Luca, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, made this announcement during an assessment visit to health facilities in Kwara.
He stated that the EU-SARAH programme, funded by the EU and implemented by UNICEF and UNFPA, aims to support government efforts rather than replace them. De Luca highlighted the importance of government commitment for the programme's success, noting that it is currently being implemented in Kwara, Sokoto, and Adamawa.
He praised Kwara for its grassroots engagement and the state government's prioritization of health issues affecting mothers and children. Dr Amina Ahmed El-Imam, the Commissioner for Health in Kwara, described the EU-SARAH programme as a major partnership that has improved health workers' capacity and increased access to essential health services.
