Speaking when she formally assumed office as the Executive Secretary of the agency, Aisha Tukur Isyaku, a pharmacist, assured staff of the agency and residents of the state that all health supplies in the state will be in accordance with the regulatory compliance for safety, efficiency and rational use by end users.
According to Aisha, generating, collecting validating and managing distribution and providing data on health supplies, logistics and supply chain for use in the state will be another area of priority during her tenure.
She promised to vigorously pursue training and capacity development programmes on health supply chain management in public health institutions in the state for staff and residents of the state alike.
The Executive Secretary however sought the support of all personnel “to ensure that the Agency regulate and coordinate all health supply chain operations in the state in line with our mandate. We will ensure that our zonal office in each of the three senatorial zones are up and doing to the benefits of the citizens.”
