Residents of Majaga community in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State are reportedly facing serious healthcare challenges as the community’s only government-owned primary healthcare centre has been found in poor condition.
The Majaga Primary Healthcare Centre, which serves more than 2,800 residents, reportedly lacks several basic facilities needed to provide safe and effective medical care.
An assessment by Tracka, a socio-accountability organisation monitoring public infrastructure, reportedly found the facility without a functional water supply, pharmacy, laboratory or injection room.
The monitoring team also identified inadequate beds, poor labour and consulting rooms, absence of wards and lack of accommodation for healthcare workers.
Tracka warned that the situation could have serious consequences for residents, particularly pregnant women and patients requiring urgent medical attention.
According to the organisation, the lack of essential infrastructure could contribute to unsafe childbirth, delayed treatment and increased risks to patients who depend on the facility as their main source of government-supported healthcare.
The organisation described the condition of the health centre as more than ordinary neglect, warning that it represents a significant threat to the wellbeing of the entire community.
Tracka has therefore called on the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) and the Nasarawa State Government to urgently intervene and rehabilitate the facility.
The group also appealed to Governor Abdullahi Sule to facilitate immediate repairs and ensure that the health centre is equipped with the basic infrastructure required to serve the community.
The situation has also renewed concerns about the condition of primary healthcare facilities in rural communities across Nigeria, where residents often depend on poorly equipped centres as their first point of medical care.
According to figures cited in the report, N1.1 billion was budgeted for capital expenditure by the Nasarawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency in 2025, but only N58.6 million had reportedly been spent by the end of the year.
For residents of Majaga, the deteriorating condition of the facility means that access to basic healthcare remains severely limited.
Tracka, through its #FixOurPHCs campaign, is calling for urgent government action to restore the facility and ensure that residents have access to safe, functional and adequately equipped primary healthcare services.
