KATSINA STATE MINISTRY OF HEALTH HOLDS PARALLEL MEETINGS ON HIV/AIDS SUSTAINABILITY AND PMTCT SCALE-UP

The Katsina State Ministry of Health has convened two parallel stakeholder meetings to strengthen government ownership of HIV/AIDS programmes and accelerate efforts to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV across the state.

The meetings, held on Wednesday, 14th October 2026, at the Honourable Commissioner’s Conference Hall in Katsina, were organised through the State AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and STIs Control Programme (SASCP).

They comprised the State-Led Oversight Committee and Partner Coordinating Platform Forum Meeting on HIV/AIDS Sustainability and Ownership and the State PMTCT Meeting under the PMTCT Scale-up Implementation.

The HIV/AIDS sustainability meeting reviewed strategies for strengthening state leadership of HIV programmes and preparing the government to assume greater financial and operational responsibility as international donor support transitions. Participants also examined ways to improve coordination between government institutions and development partners.

Discussions focused on domestic financing, accountability mechanisms, commodity supply chain management, and the integration of HIV services into state healthcare facilities and relevant health insurance schemes. Stakeholders also considered measures to align partner resources, close funding gaps, strengthen local governance, and maintain a reliable supply of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs across health facilities. The meeting further reviewed the state’s sustainability roadmap and findings from supervisory visits conducted in July 2026.

Meanwhile, the State PMTCT Meeting assessed operational challenges affecting the implementation of services designed to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Participants discussed existing bottlenecks and strategies to scale up PMTCT interventions, strengthen service delivery, and improve programme outcomes across Katsina State.

Both meetings highlighted the need for sustained government leadership, stronger partner coordination, increased domestic financing, and improved accountability within the health system to maintain HIV/AIDS interventions and accelerate progress towards the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Katsina State.

Katsina Strengthens Family Planning Sustainability as DISC 2.0 Transitions

The Katsina State Ministry of Health (SMoH) and the State Primary Health Care Agency (SPHCA), in collaboration with the Society for Family Health (SFH) through the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC 2.0) project, with support from Population Services International (PSI), have held a Bi-Annual Family Planning Stakeholders’ Coordination Meeting in Katsina.

The meeting, held at Alhujrat Royal Suite, brought together State and LGA stakeholders, development partners and the media to review progress in Family Planning (FP) and Self-Injection (SI), assess their contribution to improved maternal health, and discuss strategies for sustaining the gains recorded under DISC 2.0 as the project transitions.

The Honourable Commissioner for Health stressed the importance of sustaining Family Planning interventions as part of the State’s efforts to improve maternal and child health, while stakeholders commended the SMoH and SPHCA for their leadership in advancing FP services across the State.

Discussions highlighted gaps in domestic financing, commodity procurement, supervision, demand generation and data quality. The State SWAp Coordinator, Pharm. Gachi, noted that Katsina has domesticated the FP procurement guideline and provided for FP commodities in the State budget, with ongoing engagement to actualize the allocation. He also advocated for including FP in the State Health Insurance benefit package and reactivating the RMNCAEH Technical Working Group.

The LMCU Coordinator, DMSA, Hajiya Fatima, identified the proposed integration of Last Mile Delivery as an opportunity to improve the distribution and availability of FP commodities at health facilities.

Stakeholders also appreciated the contributions of SFH, PSI and AMI towards expanding access to Family Planning and Self-Injection services. The PHC Director of Kaita LGA emphasized the need for sustained outreach, demand generation, stronger State-LGA coordination and reduced dependence on development partners.

The meeting ended with a shared commitment to strengthening government ownership, domestic financing and coordination to ensure that the gains achieved through DISC 2.0 are sustained beyond the project period.
