The Oyo State Commissioner for Health, Dr Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, has explained that the policies being implemented by the state government in the health sector have led to the overall improvement of the sector and also helped to mitigate the effects of Japa syndrome by medical professionals.
The commissioner spoke on Thursday while addressing newsmen at the Governor’s Office Briefing Room during the Omituntun 2.0 Inter-Ministerial Briefing. He noted that the Seyi Makinde administration had also improved the health sector by recruiting thousands of health professionals and improving their welfare to address medical brain drain.
However, Ajetunmobi noted that these policies have directly resulted in improved quality of lives for residents of the state, reduction in maternal mortality rates, infant mortality rates, under-5 mortality rates and upgrade of hundreds of health facilities and infrastructure.
