The objective of the research programme is to contribute to a body of evidence on the
strengthening of the health system in
Nigeria that can influence the development, modification and implementation of policies on equitable access to health care with specific focus on the primary health care component. The primary focus of this policy brief therefore is to outline some actions that
should be taken to train and integrate lay
community-based health workers into the
primary health care system of Delta State
so as to enhance the health workforce.
