    Stressing the importance of sustainability and accountability, especially for underserved populations, Dr. MukhtarDr. Mukhtar appreciated her nomination as a Family Planning Champion and welcomed future partnerships with AHBN.

    As part of their advocacy mission, the team also visited the Drugs and Medical Consumables Supply Agency (DMCSA) to assess the family planning commodities supply chain.

    They advocated for strengthened multisectoral collaboration to improve logistics and ensure integrated service delivery.

    The team was received by Pharmacist A.M. Bello on behalf of the Director General. He provided an overview of the FP commodities received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and distributed across state health facilities.

    The team also toured the storage facilities where these commodities are kept.

    These advocacy efforts by AHBN and SAMASHA reflect a sustained commitment to advancing Universal Health Coverage and improving access to reproductive health services in Nigeria and Uganda.

    The engagements also contribute to evidence generation and monitoring progress toward achieving the FP2030 commitments.
