MANAGEMENT of the Plateau State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency ( PLASCHEMA), is holding a retreat to develop five years strategic plan to boost the agency’s efficiency and service delivery.
Dr. Agabus Manasseh, the Director-General (D-G) of the Agency, who declared the three days Strategic Planing Development retreat open on Wednesday, said the essence was to assess PLASCHEMA’s performance since inception in 2019, and review areas that needed improvement in line with its objectives.
Manasseh, further said the aim of the retreat was to also enable the management think out of the box on ways of ensuring that all Plateau residents had access to quality healthcare services and reduced their financial burden.
The D-G said the outcome of the retreat would facilitate the development of the five years plan, which would be smart, specific, realistic, measurable and time bound.
He called on all participants to ensure all hands were on deck to make the retreat yield its desired result.
Earlier, Dr Kilchem Bawa, the lead facilitator at the retreat, said strategic planing, was imperative to ensure that the agency had a road map which would serve as a guide to achieving its overall objectives.
“A strategic plan, creates a framework for the attainment of the organisation’s goals and vision.
“It also helps to track the organisation’s progress and lapses that would need redress and improvement,” Bawa said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that PLASCHEMA, was established in 2019 with the mandate of ensuring access to affordable, equitable, timely and quality healthcare provision for all residents of Plateau, irrespective of their socio-economic status.
NAN also reports that the agency’s top management, Heads Of Departments and other staff members, are in attendance at the retreat which ends on April 5. (NAN)
