The Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA), with support from Lafiya, has commenced a two-day validation meeting for the review of the zero draft of the KADHSMA Operations Aligning with Climate Resilience document.

The meeting, holding on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd August 2026 at The Pyramid Hotel, Lafiya Road, Kaduna, brings together key stakeholders to critically review the draft framework, provide technical inputs, and strengthen strategies for integrating climate resilience into health supply chain operations.

The initiative reflects KADHSMA’s commitment to building a sustainable, adaptive, and environmentally responsible health supply chain system that can withstand emerging climate-related challenges while ensuring uninterrupted access to quality health commodities across Kaduna State.

During the two-day engagement, participants are expected to examine key operational areas, share experiences, and contribute recommendations that will guide the finalization of the climate-resilient operational framework.

The Executive Secretary of KADHSMA expressed appreciation to Lafiya for its continued partnership and support towards strengthening health systems and advancing innovative approaches to sustainable health commodity management in Kaduna State.

THANK YOU MESSAGE BY THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, KADUNA STATE HEALTH SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT AGENCY (KADHSMA)

On behalf of the Kaduna State Health Supplies Management Agency (KADHSMA), I wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to all dignitaries, partners, and members of the public who honoured our invitation to the commissioning of the Sabon Gari Zonal Drug Warehouse.
We are deeply grateful to Her Excellency, Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, for graciously commissioning this important facility and for her unwavering support and commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery in Kaduna State. Her presence and leadership continue to inspire confidence in the health sector.
We also extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Uba Sani, whose visionary leadership and sustained investments in healthcare infrastructure and systems have made this milestone possible.
The commissioning of this zonal warehouse, along with similar facilities in Ikara, Kachia, and Kafanchan, represents a major step toward eliminating medicine stock-outs and improving last-mile delivery of essential health commodities across the state. The simultaneous launch of the capitalization of health facilities with Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) commodities further strengthens our collective effort to ensure that medicines are consistently available, accessible, and affordable.
We sincerely appreciate the presence and support of the Honourable Commissioner of Health, the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, local government officials, development partners, and all stakeholders who have contributed in diverse ways to the success of this initiative.
At KADHSMA, our mandate remains the continuous supply of safe, high-quality, and affordable medicines to public health facilities. We are encouraged by the progress made and remain committed to sustaining these gains for the benefit of all citizens.
We also call on community members and stakeholders to take ownership of this facility by safeguarding it against vandalism and ensuring its proper use, as its success depends on our collective responsibility.
Once again, we thank you all for your support, collaboration, and dedication to improving healthcare delivery in Kaduna State.
