The Kuchingoro Primary Health Care Centre (PHC) commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2017 as part of his Administration's efforts to revitalize 10, 000 PHCs across the Country has collapsed. The PHC is located on the Airport Road, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), close to military cemetery, Abuja. The President had on January 10th, commissioned the edifice to provide healthcare services for residents of the area, particularly to reduce cases of child mortality rate.


The commissioning ceremony was attended by Aliko Dangote, Ministers of Health and FCT and the Acting Director National Primary Health Care Development Agency NPHCDA, Mr Emmanuel Odu among others.

A visit to the facility by Vigil360 revealed that the PHC has practically collapsed, as all the wards and offices have been flooded due to leaking roofs. Also, the water system put in place to service the facility has also collapsed. Currently, patients on admission have been asked to visit the hospital from home, since the place is no longer conducive for them to remain on admission.


Similarly, patients receiving medical care from the facility current buy water from "mai ruwa" (water vendors) in the area following the collapse of the water system in the hospital.


Meanwhile, residents in the area have raised concern over the high cost of vaccine for immunization of babies. Vigil360 uncovered that some mothers pay as much as N20, 000 for immunization at the hospital. One of the women claimed that those who cannot afford the fee are usually told to return home with their babies.


According to her, "Government has to do something about this immunization issue. The last administration made it free. Now we are made to pay as high as N20, 000. Please tell Government to assist us. This fee is exposing our children to avoidable diseases".

yes, take the senseless way out and blame Buhari because he is the only problem Nigeria has. The director of NPHCDA has no blame abi

One thing I hate about Nigeria is the use of substandard products to corner 80% of the contract funds. Even after that no maintenance culture.

In a sane country if any infastructure is damaged, inmediate repair is done to avoid more detorioration. But here even the person in charge wouldnt take it serious becos of the syndrome of " non be my papa own. Na government property"

Go and check the roads constructed last month, this month pothole will be everywhere with just little rain.

Very interesting;
So the Director is the one to be blamed?
Wen GEJ was the president n even till date is he not been blamed for things odas failed to do?
I neva knew Directors, Minister, Governors, Assemblymen, etc. can be held liable cos the same was not done during GEJ administration.

Gradually d same measure that was used for GEJ is being used on dem so don't dare mention Director.

And dats how it will continue to oda up coming administrations.
