Primary Health Care Services and Disease Control Department of Itire-Ikate LCDA

The Primary Health Care Services and Disease Control Department of Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Area is committed to ensuring that every resident has access to quality, affordable, and preventive healthcare. As the frontline of community health, the department focuses on promoting wellbeing, reducing disease burden, and strengthening the overall health system within the LCDA.

We provide a wide range of essential health services designed to meet the needs of individuals and families. These services include routine immunization to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases, comprehensive maternal and child health care to support safe pregnancies and healthy child development, and family planning services that empower households to make informed reproductive choices. Through continuous disease surveillance and community sensitization, we monitor emerging health risks, respond promptly to outbreaks, and promote practices that prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Our work is rooted in prevention, early detection, and timely intervention. We engage with community members, healthcare professionals, and partner organizations to ensure that accurate health information is shared, essential services are accessible, and vulnerable populations receive the care they need. By strengthening primary healthcare delivery and promoting healthy living, we help build a resilient community where everyone can live healthier, longer, and more productive lives.

Together, we are committed to safeguarding the health of Itire-Ikate LCDA and fostering a community where wellness is a shared priority and every resident has the opportunity to thrive.
