Lagos State Government has tasked its health care workers on improved health care delivery through continuous capacity development and building resilience around the current realities of the workplace.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye who stated this at the opening ceremony of a three-day State Continuing Medical Education programme organized by the Ministry of Health for health workers in Lagos State, explained that healthcare workers must learn how to build resilience and boost their capacities for a improved health service delivery.
Ogboye explained further that the Continuing Medical Education programme themed “Improving Quality of Healthcare Service Delivery” is well thought out to prepare health workers for the realities of the present day and keep them abreast of best practices in the health care delivery system.
“The Y2023 State Continuing Medical Education program with the theme: “Improving Quality Healthcare Delivery” was organized for health workers to boost their capacity and enhance effective service delivery in the health sector. The theme was carefully selected to set a landmark in providing quality health to the citizenry and I am particularly enthusiastic about the topics”, He said.
The Permanent Secretary stated that the Governor Sanwo-Olu led administration in Lagos State recognizes the importance of human capital development in the attainment of universal healthcare coverage adding that Lagos is looking towards developing the capacities of health care workers alongside preserving both the physical and mental health of its health workforce.
“Beyond teaching, our healthcare workers must build their capacities to provide good quality services. We are also trying to preserve their mental and physical health. It is quite important that the career is also being cared for because most times we look at health workers as just people who care for other people, but we have come to realize that doctors, nurses and other health workers are just as vulnerable as other members of the society”. He said.
While officially declaring Open the Y2023 State Continuing Medical Education programme, Ogboye noted that the State Government remains committed and determined to ensure best practice in health care delivery and will continue to insist that the environment for the dispensation of medical care should be suitable for the promotion
