<p>The Emir of Dass who also serves as the Co-Chair of the Bauchi State Task Force on Primary Health Care welcomed the program addition. He said the livelihood grant is an intervention at the right time, urging caregivers to utilize it. “In reality, we know that what’s stopping many caregivers from going to the clinic to access care is the lack of transportation fares from their homes to the clinic,” he said. “This support will help ensure children get the protection they need.”<br />
He urged caregivers to stay committed to completing their children’s immunization schedules. “As soon as you give birth, start vaccinations and return for every session until the 15th month. Do not miss any,” he advised. The Emir reassured the people of Bauchi State that traditional leaders fully support the program and will continue to advocate for the health and well-being of their people.</p>
