Ekiti State Takes Giant Leap in Healthcare Reform with Joint Annual Review

The Ekiti State Government has made a significant stride in improving its healthcare system by hosting its first-ever Joint Annual Review (JAR), a 3-day technical workshop that brought together stakeholders from across the health sector. This milestone event focused on tracking the state’s performance against set targets and identifying areas for improvement, providing a platform for critical assessment of health programs, budget performance, service delivery, and policy implementation.

Through this review, the state government aims to drive better planning, accountability, and transparency in the health sector. By encouraging collaborative dialogue between government agencies, development partners, and civil society organizations, Ekiti State is aligning efforts toward achieving Universal Health Coverage and strengthening its healthcare delivery system with data-driven insights and innovative strategies.

This initiative reinforces Ekiti State’s commitment to building a resilient and people-centered health system that delivers equitable and quality care to all residents. The state’s proactive approach to healthcare reform is consistent with its efforts to attract private capital and investment, as seen in its successful bond issuance for infrastructure projects, such as the Ekiti Ring Road project. With this achievement, Ekiti State continues to demonstrate its dedication to improving the lives of its citizens.
