We actually built the capacities of 320 health workers in the state across all the categories. We are having training on competency-based for ANC, PNC presently at Kakanfo Inn, Ring Road, Ibadan.

“We conducted a baseline survey in the 60 selected facilities to identify gaps that are hindering the quality of care to pregnant women and children in the state.
