Stakeholder Sensitization Engagement on State DRF Operationalization; Day 4

The ongoing Stakeholder Sensitization Engagement on the operationalization of the State Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) ended its fourth day on a high, marking another important step in the collective effort to strengthen access to quality medicines across the state. With the theme “Strengthening Access to Quality Medicines Through an Efficient Drug Revolving Fund System,” the engagement continues to draw participation from key actors across the health sector.

Addressing participants, Pharm Kim Jerry Bot, Director General, Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) emphasized the critical role stakeholders play in ensuring effective service delivery.
He noted that the weeklong activity was deliberately designed to allow for deeper interaction, shared learning, and honest conversations about the challenges and opportunities within the state’s drug supply system.

“It is a very good thing to have you here today,” Pharm Kim reiterated, acknowledging the long-standing collaboration with many of the attendees. Participants were encouraged participants to freely engage, ask questions, and contribute their experiences, stressing that essential medicines remain central to healthcare practice and must be managed with diligence, transparency, and efficiency.

The DG highlighted that the state has made significant progress in strengthening its health systems, but more work remains. “We have been doing this work together. Now is the time to fortify and do it better,” he noted, calling for renewed commitment from all stakeholders involved in procurement, distribution, facility management, and service delivery.

The engagement also underscored the administration’s dedication to improving healthcare outcomes. Participants were reminded of the mandate of His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, whose vision for the health sector places strong emphasis on accountability, availability of essential drugs, and sustainable systems that serve the people effectively.
Participants were reminded that the responsibility rests on everyone within the health value chain. “The task is on all of us. Unless we work together, the goals we seek will remain out of reach,” the DG emphasized.

In response to the challenges identified during the training period, several key measures were implemented to address them. To ensure effective and timely last-mile delivery of drugs and medical commodities to health facilities, a tracking motorcycle will be provided to the essential drug officer or logistician in each Local Government Area (LGA).
In addition, tablets (digital devices) will be supplied to support accurate, efficient, and user-friendly documentation.

The Ward Development Committees (WDCs) were also actively engaged in the training. As a core component of the Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) system, WDCs play a critical role in community sensitization and in supporting effective and sustainable healthcare delivery.

As the sensitization continues, stakeholders remain optimistic that the revitalized Drug Revolving Fund system will not only improve access to quality medicines but also restore public confidence in healthcare facilities across the state.

PS-DMCMA Hosts Codix Pharmaceuticals

The Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) welcomed Codix Pharma Nigeria Ltd for a presentation on advanced healthcare and diagnostic technologies.

Mr. Henry Chukwudi, who led the presentation, highlighted Codix Pharma’s commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery systems across Nigeria. He explained that the company has established the first diagnostic manufacturing plant in Sub-Saharan Africa, and recently launched another factory, the first in West Africa, dedicated to the production of diagnostic kits such as HIV and malaria test kits.
Mr. Chukwudi introduced the Global A1c Device, a multifunctional analyzer capable of running over 54 different parameters, including glucose, HbA1c, profile testing, and other critical diagnostics.

He praised the Plateau State DMA for being the first agency to approve and deploy this innovative device in its health facilities. He noted that this demonstrates the state government’s readiness to embrace innovation in point-of-care testing, particularly for diabetes management.

He emphasized the importance of HbA1c testing, explaining that it is crucial in identifying diabetic patients and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment over time. Codix Pharma has already deployed the devices in several health facilities across the state and conducted training for healthcare workers to ensure proper use.

Mr. Chukwudi further presented the HD Red Meter, a handheld device capable of providing PCV and HB results in just three seconds. He noted that this technology is particularly beneficial for emergency cases, pregnant women, children, and rural areas with limited electricity supply, as the device is battery-powered.

The device has been thoroughly validated by the MLCM body of Nigeria and recorded 99.7% sensitivity and 99.9% specificity. It is also certified by KFDA and NAFDAC.

Codix Pharma assured the Agency that all their devices come with lifetime support and maintenance at no additional cost. Any faulty device or batch with errors can be returned through the DMA and will be replaced immediately.

Mr. Chukwudi stressed the importance of proper usage of diagnostic kits. He shared an example from Adamawa State where incorrect HIV test results were traced to improper handling and reagent application. Corrective training by Codix resolved the issue and ensured accurate testing thereafter.

Codix Pharma also provides additional diagnostic kits including HDV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C test kits, as well as the F200 and F400 multi-system analyzers, which offer over 54 parameters and can serve as backup systems for larger equipment in tertiary and secondary facilities.

As part of its support to the state, Codix Pharma announced the donation of one multi-system analyzer to the Plateau State DMA.

A representative of the Plateau State Primary Health Care Board, Mrs. Julie Rotji, appreciated Codix Pharma for the enlightening presentation, noting that rapid diagnostic tests serve as a critical entry point for early care and treatment, especially at the primary healthcare level where community access is essential.

Speaking on behalf of the Director-General of the Agency, Pharm. Lenka Nanman thanked Codix Pharma for their continuous support to healthcare delivery on the Plateau. He also expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, for his steadfast commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of the people of Plateau State.

PS-DMCMA Welcomes AIDS Prevention Initiative In Nigeria

The Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) has welcomed the AIDS Prevention Initiative in Nigeria (APIN) on a courtesy visit aimed at strengthening collaboration and promoting service integration across health facilities in the state.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Solomon Wekpe, Head of Department, commended the Director-General of the Agency for the significant progress made in improving service delivery within the health sector. He noted that Plateau State has been proactive and accommodating, striving to be a pacesetter in the implementation of health programmes.

Dr. Wekpe emphasized that the integration of health services was long overdue, explaining that many facilities across the state have been trained and activated as treatment centres. “The number of facilities has grown from 57 cumulatively to over 500, which shows the great opportunities we have, especially in local government areas such as Kwall (Kanke), Wase, Dirok, Langtang South, and Riyom. Today, we are present in all 17 LGAs,” he stated.

He further highlighted the Agency’s efforts in capacity building. “Over the years, we have trained healthcare workers and key stakeholders. Last year, we selected stakeholders across the state and trained them in Ogun State on health financing — from the level of commissioners downward. Capacity building is not restricted to ministry staff alone; facility staff have also benefited from our training programmes. In September, for instance, we trained two batches under APIN, with 105 participants in each batch,” he explained.

Dr. Wekpe also shared that during a recent supervisory visit by the state’s HIV implementation team, it was discovered that those previously trained were now leading key activities. He expressed confidence that the integration initiative would succeed, acknowledging the Plateau State Government and the Commissioner for Health for their continued reforms in the health sector.

He added that the integration process aims to establish a single drug chain logistics system, relying on the Drug Management Agency (DMA) to ensure efficient distribution and accountability.

In his remarks, Mr. Ekeke Victor from APIN’s Strategic Health Department appreciated the DG for his leadership and integrity. He stressed that service integration goes beyond merging workforces or facilities — it focuses on improving the quality of services delivered. He cited an example of an HIV patient who experiences stigma when directed to a separate section within a hospital. “This is what integration seeks to eliminate. The goal is ownership and sustainability,” he said, noting that the issue of service integration had been extensively discussed at the State Council.

Dr. Sa’adatu also emphasized the importance of forming a Technical Working Group comprising key stakeholders from various agencies, including the DMA, to drive the integration process. She stated that the 40 trained facilities under the programme should be fully absorbed into the state’s health system for sustainability. “We are here to partner with the government in driving this process, and by God’s grace, all state facilities will be integrated,” she added.

In his response, Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot, Director-General of the DMCMA, welcomed the APIN team and assured them that their collaboration would yield meaningful results. He appreciated his management team for their commitment to the agency’s success, affirming that APIN remains a valued partner.

He said, “This advocacy and the plans you have initiated are timely. Integration will provide a platform for efficient case management, easy access to data, and effective monitoring of drug reactions and medicine use. With the introduction of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) components, we are opening our eyes to new realities, and as an agency, we are ready to provide the necessary support.”

The DG also mentioned that the agency’s warehouse is well equipped to handle large volumes of commodities, noting the recent launch of an innovative Public Health Chain Management Distribution Hub designed to ensure faster delivery of commodities directly from Lagos to Jos.

“Integration is the way forward. As an agency, we are ready to empower our staff, sustain capacity, and work closely with APIN to achieve perfection through partnership,” he said.

Pharm. Lengka Nanman Musa, in his remarks, appreciated APIN for their continued support and expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, and the Honourable Commissioner for Health for their unwavering commitment to the state’s health sector.

Also speaking, Mr. Cyril James Fwanshak, Acting Director of Warehousing and Logistics, thanked Dr. Solomon Wekpe for his humility and dedication, describing him as a patient leader who always guides his team with diligence.

Mr. Nyantau appealed to the agency to ensure greater availability of anti-snake venom in Langtang North, Langtang South, and Wase Local Government Areas, noting that these areas record the highest number of snakebite cases in Plateau State.
He lamented that the scarcity and high cost of anti-snake venom have led to avoidable deaths, as most victims cannot afford treatment.

He further appealed for improved access to hepatitis B vaccines, explaining that the disease continues to affect many, particularly the youth, and has serious socioeconomic implications for the Tarok people especially the youth.

Adding his voice, Mr. Kumswa Julfa Domzhin, a member of the PYC/TAPYA, reiterated that snakebites have become a major public health concern in Tarok land. He called on the Agency to consider involving private health facilities in Langtang North, Langtang South, and Wase in training and storage of anti-snake venom, stressing that collaboration between public and private sectors would significantly improve outcomes.

Responding, Pharm. Kim thanked the delegation for their visit and described their appeal as timely. He revealed that the state had already initiated plans for the establishment of an Anti-Snake Venom and Response Centre, following deliberations at the 64th Council of Health Meeting.

He explained that a memorandum had been submitted and approved, with key stakeholders, including the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr Nicholas Baamlong, the Permanent Secretary, the Chief Medical Director of the Hospital Management Board, and the Executive Secretary of the Primary Health Care Board - all working together to advance the project.

The DG disclosed that research conducted on local plant species revealed that Tarok land is uniquely endowed and blessed with snake species whose venom could be harnessed for local anti-venom production.
He added that efforts are ongoing on to expand the research team for venom extraction and indigenous vaccine development.

The DG commended His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, Executive Governor of Plateau State, for his commitment to local manufacturing of vaccines, intravenous fluids, and essential medicines. He noted that the Governor had already constituted an Inter-Ministerial Committee comprising representatives from the Ministries of Budget and Planning, Finance, and Justice, to ensure the success of the local manufacturing initiative.

The DG further disclosed that the Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (DMA) currently manages the distribution of anti-snake venom vaccines procured by the State Government. He confirmed that the Governor had fully paid for the vaccines and directed that they be subsidized for public access.

Pharm Kim also revealed that the Agency had recently deployed hepatitis B test kits to General Hospitals in Langtang and Mabudi, to get them at DMA and are affordable reducing the cost of testing.
He added that discussions were ongoing with the Global Fund and the U.S. Embassy to provide GeneXpert machines to Langtang and other parts of the local government area for improved diagnostic capacity in those regions.

The DG assured the delegation that the Plateau State Government remains committed to ensuring availability, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare commodities for all citizens.

He also disclosed that the State Government was in talks with vaccine manufacturers to procure typhoid and cholera vaccines, adding that while the cholera vaccine is currently in its final clinical trial phase, the typhoid vaccine will be available and would soon be deployed across the state.

On training and capacity building, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong, Honourable Commissioner for Health, noted that the Ministry had commenced plans for comprehensive training on snakebite management, not only for doctors but also for pharmacists, to improve knowledge of medication storage, logistics, and local production,and also trained nurses on how to watch out for patients who are on admission in terms of complications processes.

Mr. Dafam Dorker David, a medical practitioner from Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), commended the DG for his leadership and pledged support for the proposed training initiatives.

Also speaking, Mr. Napoleon Nanzin, Secretary of the Tarok Progressive Youth Association, expressed gratitude to Governor Caleb Mutfwang for including the Tarok people in his administration.
