VISION: To develop a sustainable primary Healthcare system where disease burden is reduced to the barest minimum and quality of life is enhanced. MISSION: To provide universal coverage of quantitative, effective and efficient primary health centers. CORE VALUES: To implement Lagos State Primary Health Care, through community participation, intersectoral collaboration, utilization of appropriate technology and development of human resources for health integrated service, provision, and supply of essential drugs and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation. In its determination to ease the pressure on the Secondary and Tertiary healthcare facilities, Lagos State Government is resuscitating the hitherto moribund primary health care delivery system. It is, therefore, fortifying the Primary Health Care facilities across the state such that they could be able to meet the yearnings of the people for adequate medical attention. One of the ways of achieving this aim is the new flagship health centers established across the state to bridge the gap between primary health care and secondary health care to complement the services being rendered by the two hundred and eighty-eight Primary Health Care Centres in the State. The focus of the Primary Healthcare is therefore on preventive health care and the Board is spearheading its realization throughout the nooks and crannies of the state.
