To ensure that the Basic Health provision Fund (BHCPF), serves as a catalyst for improving services to all citizens category, the State government’s aspiration of a healthy and wealthy population with access to quality healthcare in an equitable manner is closer to being achieved.
PERL’s engagement in Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF) began in April 2021, noting the objective behind the scheme which is to provide access to quality healthcare to the vulnerable population, including women and persons with disabilities (PWDs). Since then, PERL has contributed a report on Contextual Analysis for the implementation of BHCPF in Kano State. PERL’s support in linking the KSCHMA M&E Plan with the BHCPF protocols and other initiatives such as the 10-Year Strategic Plan has led to the development of an electronic feedback mechanism. PERL has also facilitated KSCHMA’s engagement with the Ward Development Committees (WDCs), leading to more enrolment of beneficiaries onto the BHCPF; another support saw PERL facilitating engagement between KSCHMA and the media to agree on approaches for improved sensitization on its various schemes.
