Prof. Francis Faduyile, the Special Adviser (SA) on Health Matters to Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, in a recent statement, declared that health record officers are significant stakeholders in planning a healthy society.
Faduyile made the assertion when he hosted the Association of Records and Information Management Practitioners of Nigeria (AHRIMP) in his office in Akure on Friday.
“Your position is very important for statistics, record and planning. You are helpful for the government to plan.
“You are as important as others because work in the health facilities amounts to nothing without proper record,” he said.
He said that the state government, through his office, was planning to have a committee comprising all professional unions and associations in the sector.
“We do not want to leave any part; we want all of us to work together.
“If you have any issue, bring it up. I can assure you that we can work together and have a better Ondo State,” he stated.
The SA noted that Akeredolu’s interest in the health sector was unwavering, saying, ‘it is left for us, it is we that will see how far we can go’.
“We have a government that is interested in your wellbeing and welfare,” he said.
He urged the association to improve its productivity and efficiency to better the state.
” Your association and activities cannot remain on paper if we want to move the state forward. We need to think of what we can do together to improve as an institution,” he urged.
