An investigation by civic accountability group, Tracka, has revealed the deplorable condition of the Obamoro Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Ola-Oluwa Local Government Area of Osun State, raising concerns over the safety of healthcare delivery in the community.
According to findings from Tracka’s field visit, the facility is currently unfit for effective medical service.
Observations showed leaking roofing sheets, open and dusty floors, broken windows and damaged doors, all of which expose patients and health workers to health and security risks.
The condition of the centre, the group noted, falls short of basic standards required for safe and hygienic healthcare delivery.
Tracka reported that both health workers and community members confirmed that the poor state of the facility makes it extremely difficult to provide and access quality care.
Residents of Obamoro community are said to be suffering avoidable hardship as they are forced to seek treatment in an unsafe environment or travel long distances to alternative health facilities.
In a public appeal, Tracka called on Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, alongside relevant authorities including the Osun State Ministry of Health, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), and the Federal Ministry of Health, to urgently intervene and rehabilitate the centre.
The organisation stressed that restoring Obamoro PHC would significantly improve access to affordable healthcare, enhance patient safety, and create a better working environment for health personnel serving the community.
Tracka also urged citizens and stakeholders to demand accountability in the use of public funds, emphasizing that healthcare infrastructure should work for the good of the people.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to tracking government projects and ensuring that public resources deliver meaningful impact, particularly in grassroots communities where access to basic health services remains critical.
