FHI360 Malaria Action Program for States, a USAID funded program last week delivered a Ford Ranger 4×4, Toyota Hilux and 33 KVA Generator to Cross River State Primary Healthcare Development Agency to boost primary health care services in the state.
According to Chief of Party FHI360/ MAPS Projects, Oluwole Adeusi, the transfer of the assets is as a result of the close out of the Malaria action program for states within the year. "This intervention is the response of an appeal from the Director General of CRSPHCDA Dr Betta Edu, requesting for transfer of office equipment and vehicles to support implementation of CRS primary health Care Development Agency's activities in the state.
Expressing appreciation, the DG, Dr Betta Edu thanked USAID and FHI360/MAPS for keeping to their words. According to her, the agency needed project vehicles and other office equipment to sustain the programmes previously carried out by MAPS projects across the State as well as other intervention in the state. We are a new agency with a full set up office. This office equipment will aid seamless performance of our duties in the state".
"His Excellency, Senator (Prof) Ben Ayade and the wife, Dr Linda Ayade as well as the Commissioner For Health are very grateful to USAID for granting such relief to the State Primary Healthcare Development Agency through FHI360 MAPS project that ended recently said Dr Betta Edu", she further informed.
Other items received included Projector Screen and Dell projector, stationaries and ICT materials.
