• *General public*


With due humility & honour I have the privilege to use this channel to pen-down  our grievances in health sector & health related issues.

As Hausa's says *Lafiya Uwar jiki* let me use this opportunity to call on above agencies to ponder this problem as it become endemic in our society especially *Sokoto State*

Immunizations play a vital role in maintaining the health well-being of the community.

But nowaday immunization programmes in our society facing enormous challenges,
So why the challenge ?
I have made a several observation & consultation from a different genders & personality, but all what I have found-out the Health campaign & immunizations programs is not going right because of one single mistake of health agencies.
That's recruiting of unrelated health personnel's.
I am not saying we most exempt anyone which is not health worker but we have put  health personnel's to work actively in the services.

In my community I thoroughly investigate all what I have found out is 85% of the peoples who are in the immunization system they're not health personnel's, & I know it's not only my community majority of our communities they confronting the same challenge.

Imagine in the other community  you can see a vaccinator which is not health worker by profession vaccinating a child, haba Jama'ah how risk is this !.
I can easily say *"wannan yana daga cikin dalillan dasukasa wasu basu aminta ayiwa 'ya'yansu Allurar Rigakafi*".

What will seriously baffle me you can see a lots of health personnel's in the community who are perfectly perfect in handling the immunization programs but the agencies & peoples who have the Mantle power of the programme are recruiting fake people's whose they don't have any relationship with health issues.

I am making this write-up with high shy of this matter as it become rampant in our society some were recruited because they're relatively related to government,some they come from ruling families, *wasun kuma saboda sunada Gatane kawai*.

Haba Jama'ah with this we are expecting Good health well-being in our society ? It's simply impossible.

As matter of everything you can't be succeed till you adopt a something which is rightly right,
How can you call *an engineer to  receive a labour from a pregnant woman*?
Rather how can you call a *Hunter to inject you if you're sick* ?
Neither possible nor right.

With this little bit  I am drawing  the attention of Governments & other health related agencies to make an authentic correction of this problem
As *Health practitioners use to say* " _The health of one man, is the health of the society_".
