This initiative aligns with UNICEF’s dedication to implementing the Primary Health Care Memorandum of Understanding with the state government.
UNICEF, with assistance from the German Development Bank, has constructed and furnished this medical center. Its value is estimated at 179,000 US dollars.
Today, the facility is being transferred to the Borno state government to address the healthcare requirements of women and children previously affected by armed conflict.
