The Delta State Access to Finance Scheme is an innovative Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative aimed at revitalizing primary healthcare centers (PHCs) across Delta State. Established in response to the challenges facing Nigeria's healthcare system, particularly the dysfunctionality of PHCs, the scheme seeks to improve healthcare access, reduce maternal and child mortality rates, and create a sustainable model for healthcare delivery in underserved rural areas.

Launched in 2019 by the Delta State Contributory Health Commission (DSCHC) in collaboration with PharmAccess Foundation, the program has already made significant strides, transforming 15 previously moribund PHCs into fully functional health facilities. The Access to Finance Scheme has provided healthcare coverage for over 30,000 residents, ensuring round-the-clock care and access to essential health services.

This Impact Evaluation Report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the scheme's impact, its benefits to Delta State residents, and the potential for scaling the initiative to other regions in Nigeria. It also highlights the lessons learned from the program, offering valuable insights for national adoption. By engaging private healthcare providers and investors, the scheme has not only improved health outcomes but has also demonstrated a strong return on investment (ROI) and created job opportunities within the healthcare sector.

The full report details the financial outcomes, stakeholder responsibilities, and key performance indicators, shedding light on how this PPP model can serve as a replicable framework for improving healthcare delivery nationwide.
