Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation Commits To Improve Quality Primary Healthcare Delivery

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, a philanthropic organisation said it is committed to increasing access to quality primary healthcare across Africa.
The Foundation, in partnership with the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) and Edo State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (EdoSPHCDA) will hand over four newly renovated Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in Owan West, Ikpoba Okha, Oredo, and Uhunmwode local government areas in Edo State to their respective communities.
This event marks the first phase of the Foundation’s multibillion naira commitment to renovate 23 PHCs across Nigeria under the Adopt-A-Healthcare-Facility Programme (ADHFP).
The ADHFP, an initiative launched by PSHAN, seeks to ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of geographical or socio-economic status, has access to equitable, affordable, and world-class healthcare services within each of the country’s 774 local government areas.
Acknowledging the pressing challenges in Nigeria’s healthcare system, including widespread poverty, inequality, and the growing burden of disease, the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation committed in November 2021 to adopt 23 PHCs, 18 of which are located in Edo State.
The renovation and revitalisation of these healthcare centres reflect a transformative approach aimed at significantly enhancing service delivery.
Speaking on the foundation’s commitment, co-founder and executive vice chair of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Mrs. Ofovwe Aig-Imoukhuede said, “A healthy population is the cornerstone of sustainable development. The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation is steadfast in its commitment to bridging the healthcare gap by revitalising Primary Healthcare Centres in underserved communities.”
She noted that the inauguration of the first four renovated PHCs in Edo State marks a crucial step toward our vision of a healthier, more equitable future for all Nigerians.
MD/CEO of the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN), Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe added, “Our partnership with the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation represents a significant milestone in addressing the healthcare gap in Nigeria.”
She added that “through the ADHFP initiative, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of people in underserved communities transforming healthcare delivery throughout the country.”
