The Kano State Government says it is targeting about 3.2 million children below the age of five for its polio immunisation scheduled for this month. The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Kabiru Getso, disclosed this in a media briefing in Kano on Friday, ahead of the commencement of the exercise.
Gesto said that the state government would fund the establishment of health camps in the state, unlike in the past when development partners provided the camps.
He revealed that the state had paid counterpart fund of N11 million of the N130 million required for the exercise.
