 The Oni Of Ife has charged traditional rulers on their roles in primary health care development. Oba Adei Ogumusi also appeals to the federal government to bring an end to the lingering resident doctor's strike. This was at inauguration of the Southwest Traditional Leaders Committee on Primary Health Care Delivery. It was at the palace of the Oni Of Ife. Our correspondent, Olasukomi Ogumuko, completes the report. Primary health care is still a major concern to Nigerians. Attention to this is what brings together traditional rulers at the palace of Oni Of Ife in Osho State. It's the inauguration of the Southwest Traditional Leaders Committee on Primary Health Care Delivery. The collaborative effort of the WHO and UNICEF were the grassroots. The humble expectation for this committee is continuous and intensive support in the areas of role modeling, community advocacy, mobilization, sensitization, resource mobilization and monitoring of all primary health care interventions such as vaccination campaigns against COVID-19, polio, measles, yellow fever, etc. Apparently, the plan is to ensure that all states in the Southwest have modern primary health care centers. For this project, that we also create jobs, save lives and improve population health for a more productive country. My first request is for the partnership to intensify efforts to encourage stakeholders to key into this plan and to pull their efforts into its realization. Secondly, for community mobilization to be ready to play their part in small contributions that offer care at no cost to members and to improve service optically as it is being rolled out. However, the Oni Of Ife is still not much impressed. He wants one more thing, resident doctors back to work. We will continue to work in tandem with international standards to deliver health care system, health care enhancement as far as primary health care is concerned to our people. Certainly, the roles of traditional rulers cannot be overemphasized in an effective primary health care system. Achieving this at the grassroots is everybody's business.
