Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has raised concerns about the understaffing of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in Nigeria, warning that it poses a serious threat to the lives of Nigerians. A report found that 97% of assessed PHCs across 16 states failed to meet national staffing standards, indicating a potential nationwide crisis. Obi emphasized that inadequate staffing could have serious consequences for pregnant women and vulnerable children.
