What happened
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency completed the renovation, commissioning, and handover of 3,526 primary healthcare facilities across Nigeria.

Dr. Muyi Aina, Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, made these disclosures during a media briefing with the National Health Insurance Authority. He noted that only 53% of approximately 27,000 monitored primary healthcare centers are currently functional at Level 1 or Level 2.

Why it matters
The expansion of functional healthcare infrastructure affects basic service availability in Nigeria. The agency is pursuing an equity-based approach to revitalization, considering community access and travel distance. The increase in Level 2 primary healthcare centers by over 59% since March 2024 indicates progress toward national health targets.
