In an effort towards improvement of the availability and distribution of Primary Health Care (PHC) Human Resources for Health (HRH), we have developed a PHC Centric Human Resource for Health Information System (HRHIS) to track and ensure equitable distribution of Health Workforce in all communities across Nigeria. The system will be used by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) to strengthen capacity of Human Resource for Health (HRH) policy and planning at national and sub-national levels in the country.

This was done under a catalytic grant secured by National Emergency Maternal and Child Intervention Centre (NEMCHIC) from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) titled: “Optimizing Human Resource for Health and Improving the Quality of Care (QoC) for Reproductive, Maternal, New-born, Child, and Adolescent Health + Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) services at PHC level in Nigeria”
