Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo says the federal government made a strident effort to improve the health of Nigerians, including committing over N80 billion to equip health institutions across the country.
Osinbajo says the federal government had also set up a special fund under the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund to help address the high cost of healthcare for the poor.
The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire says the government was determined to revitalise facilities and services at the various healthcare centres at designated communities.
He proposed that subnational governments should consider supporting the federal government’s one per cent of consolidated federal revenue to Basic Health Care Provision Fund with equal matching grants for their own states and for Local Government Areas, respectively.
