Ogun State Government, in partnership with the Society for Family Health, has launched the First Integrated Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Elderly Health and Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) demand generation health facility flip chart.
The chart is aimed at strengthening health communication and improving service delivery across facilities and communities in the state.
The Executive Secretary of the Ogun State Primary Health Care Development Board, Dr Elijah Ogunsola, speaking at the official launch and dissemination on Monday, described the initiative as a strategic tool for enhancing client-centered care and informed health decision-making.
Ogunsola, represented by the Director, Disease Control and Immunization, Dr Thomas Solarin, explained that the flip chart is a practical and easy-to-use resource designed to support healthcare providers and community mobilizers in delivering clear, accurate, and consistent health information.
He maintained that in a dynamic health system where communities rely on trusted sources of guidance, the tool presents essential health messages in a simple visual format that strengthens the quality of counselling and promotes better health outcomes.
Ogunsola commended development partners for their support in bringing the initiative to reality, and for producing what he described as the first health promotion manual usable at both facility and community levels.
He also appreciated the Commissioner for Health, Tomi Coker, for creating an enabling environment, reaffirming the government’s commitment to building a more responsive, people-centered health system.
The Coordinating Director, RMNCAEH+N Programme Delivery Unit of the Society for Family Health, Dr. Anthony Nwala, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery through its Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) Project.
Nwala explained that the project also focuses on boosting demand for health services through community-driven strategies such as male engagement, community orientation, interpersonal communication, and outreach activities, among others.
Speaking on behalf of World Health Organization (WHO), Mrs. Goodness Ojo, commended the collaboration and leadership behind the evidence-based tool, noting that it would strengthen health education, support frontline workers and empower communities.
