EHA Clinics Advocates Affordable Healthcare Services
EHA Clinics Kano, a leading health care services provider, has advocated for easy access to affordable quality health care in Nigeria, and across the African continent.
Yesterday, the call had been made during a press conference in Abuja by Adam Thompson, the chief executive officer, EHA Clinics Kano, to brief the media about the clinic’s Gold Seal of Approval for Ambulatory Care that was awarded to it by the Joint Commission International (JCI), in recognition of its commitment to quality primary healthcare delivery in Nigeria, as well as continuous compliance with internationally-recognized standards
“We are the first primary healthcare clinic in Subsaharan Africa to be accredited by JCI for ambulatory care. We are proud to be transforming healthcare and setting the pace for primary healthcare standards in Nigeria and Africa at large. In 2015, a study showed that there were a million neonatal deaths of people that had access to essential health services. The core reason was poor care and lack of quality standards, so they had access to care but just didn’t have access to quality care.
