This publication was developed against a background of continuing efforts to reform the Health Sector in Nigeria. Indeed remarkable progress has been made in bringing Primary Health Care Under One Roof in Abia State. It is instructive to state here that in Abia State, the state Primary Health Care Development Agency and Local Government Health Authority Law was innacted in 2015, the Governing Board is equally in place and the complete transfer of Local Government Health Workers and Primary Health staff of the state Ministry of Health has been achieved, there is an urgent need to develop an operational guideline that will help in the full implementation of PHCUOR at the state, Local Government, Ward and Health Facility levels. Consequently, the state Primary Health Care Development Agency, the Local Government Health Authority, Official Development Partners, Civil Society Groups and other relevant MDAs undertook a comprehensive review of relevant manuals, legal frameworks and equally received inputs from stakeholders. The result of the reviews and brainstorming sessions was the development of this scientific document which contains the Roles, and Responsibilities of Primary Health Care Teams at various levels and of course highlighted the measures and activities to achieve PHCUOR and a seamless implementation. It is obvious that Abia is at an advanced state of implementation of PHCUOR, I am confident that this Operational Guidelines will be of immense value to all and serve as a catalyst for the achievement of the deserved health targets and expectations Dr. Chinagozi Adindu Executive Secretary ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Governing Board of Abia State Primary Health Care Development Agency is very grateful to all those within and outside the state who contributed to the 24 development, review, finalization and production of the Operational Guidelines of Abia State Primary Health Care Development Agency for the implementation of Primary Health Care Under One Roof.
