Press statement by the coalition of women in the PACFAH@Scale Project as they commemorate the 2021 International Women’s Day in Abuja

Women in PACFaH@Scale, a coalition of women professional and non-profits working under the Partnership for advocacy in child and family health at scale (PACFaH@Scale), observed that COVID-19 has made it difficult for PHCs to provide full immunization services all over the country, but women have been finding it harder to access family planning services and pieces of training scheduled by so many state governments for CHEWS on new treatment protocols for childhood killer diseases have been put on hold as a result. There is no doubt that there has been a disruption of Essential Health Services throughout Nigeria as a result of Covid-19. This statement was made during the International Women’s Day celebration at the dRPC office on March 8th 2021.
