The Kano State Health Trust Fund (KHETFUND) on 28th August 2026 concluded a two-day sensitisation engagement with the Dawakin Tofa and Bichi Zones of the Kano State Primary Healthcare Management Board (PHCMB), aimed at strengthening awareness of the Fund’s achievements and the procedures for accessing its regular health interventions.
The Executive Secretary of the Kano State Health Trust Fund, Dr. Fatima Usman Zahradeen, highlighted key interventions and achievements recorded by the Fund, which encouraged stakeholders from Dawakin Tofa and Bichi Zones to seek clarification on how similar interventions could be accessed.
In a statement signed by public Relations officer KHETFUND Amina Lawal Isa said Dr Fatima Zahraddin emphasised the need for PHC Coordinators, Zonal Directors (ZDs), and Ward Operational Team (WTO) members from Bichi and Dawakin Tofa to follow the established and approved procedures when requesting interventions from KHETFUND.
She further urged participants to properly document their needs and channel their requests through the appropriate authorities to ensure transparency, accountability, and equitable distribution of interventions.
In his remarks, the Director-General of the Kano State Primary Healthcare Management Board (PHCMB), Professor Salisu Ahmad Ibrahim, commended KHETFUND for organising the sensitisation meeting, describing it as an important platform for strengthening collaboration between the Fund, health institutions, and stakeholders at the grassroots level.
Professor Salisu encouraged participants to take advantage of the knowledge gained during the engagement and ensure that their health needs are presented through the approved channels.
The engagement, which commenced on 27th August 2026 and ended on 28th August 2026, successfully provided PHC Coordinators, Zonal Directors, and WTOs from the Bichi and Dawakin Tofa Zones with a clearer understanding of KHETFUND’s achievements, available intervention opportunities, and the procedures required to access regular support.
KHETFUND remains committed to promoting transparency, equitable distribution, and effective health interventions across Kano State.
