- Ensure at least one functional blood bank with a constant electric source in each senatorial district.
- Sustain the provision of life-saving commodities such as magnesium sulphate and misoprostol in all facilities.
- Ensure adequate ambulance services for early and prompt referral from primary to secondary health facilities.
