The state government has already renovated and upgraded most of its hospitals. The state also runs the first community health insurance scheme, in which the subsidies required to give communities access to quality care are co-financed by the state. The scheme currently gives over 100,000 people access to quality medical care for as low as N300 a year.
75000 units of LLITN were distributed at the event. 32 ultra sound machines were donated across the existing Local Government Areas (LGAS) of the state, just as two mobile x-Ray machines were given to specialist hospital at Sobi and Civil Service Clinic Ilorin. Speaking at the event, Mr. Tunji Morohunfolu, a special adviser to Dr. Bukola Saraki on millennium development goals stated that Kwara State is targeting the distribution of one million units of LLITN before the end of the year in its fight against the spread of malaria.
