“We found it worthy to; besides working on the field, also put up new skills unto the health practitioners, who are directly dealing with some of the victims of crises, mostly women and children,” he said.
According to him, humanity has bonded people together, before tribe, region or religion.
“We would continue to uphold the fundamental principles of; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, unity, Independence, Voluntary service, and Universality, in tandem with our Operations, across communities in Nigeria and Plateau State in particular,” he said.
The State Commissioner of Health, Cletus Shurkuk, said the importance of the training cannot be overemphasised, at a time when government alone cannot do everything for its people.
Represented by the Director of Public Health, Doctor Buna Mafwalal, said the Ministry highly appreciates the interventions of NRCS in many areas of humanitarian services.
He tasked the participants to, “effectively apply the new knowledge and skills from the training, at their respective workplaces and further step it down to others.”
A representative of the trainees, Dan’Asabe Abdullahi, said “We can only reward you (NRCS/UNPFA), by stepping down what we have learnt to others that were not here.”
He stressed that they would practice what they were taught, theoretically and practically.
