Abstract
The survey of primary health care facilities in Delta State shows that community involvement in the management and delivery of primary health services is lacking. The empowerment and participation of women of child bearing age is needed as a key component of any strategy to involve community members towards effective delivery of maternal and child health care. This policy brief is based on the findings of ongoing research, “Strengthening the health system in Nigeria through improved equitable access to Primary Health Care (PHC): The Case of Delta State, Niger Delta region.”
