Since its creation on October 1st 1996, Nasarawa State has not occupied an enviable position in the health development portion of the nation. The various health surveys conducted by researchers over the years point to Nasarawa as a State with high risk of disease infection. Governor Doma when appointed to office made quick work to take a number of measures to reverse the situation. To lower the high prevalence of HiV in Nasarawa, governor Doma approved the transformation of the Nasarawa State Action Committee on HIV/AIDS (NASACA)to a full fledged Agency. Also in realizing the importance of primary health as a unit of health care delivery, the Governor rehabilitated and upgraded 58 multi-purpose health care centers across the state and recruited over four hundred and thirty medical personnels to address shortage of staff in various hospitals.
I think that this is a great move by Governor Doma. He realized that goals must be made in order to help his state. Governor Doma knew that he must do something fast in order to help. Upgrading the hospitals to accomodate more people and getting more staff is great, but he didn't just stop there.
