Prof Isaac Adewole1 e1448650928487 510x374 620x330According to the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, Federal Government has sought partnership with stakeholders to boost the country’s healthcare delivery system. He stressed the need for an effective synergy among all stakeholders in the health sector to provide efficient and quality health service to citizens. 

The minister said the “inverted health pyramid system’’ would be reversed and restore the pyramid system for the benefit of larger population. He lamented that only about 15 per cent of Nigerians currently access healthcare under the inverted pyramid system, hence the need to take healthcare services to the door steps of rural communities.

Adewole stated that government will make sure that primary healthcare is made accessible to majority of Nigerians under the planned reversal policy. He hinted that this present administration would establish 10,000 additional primary healthcare centres to cover all the electoral wards in the country. The Chairman of HMCAN, Dr Kolawole Owoka, had earlier pledged to support federal government quest to deliver improved healthcare services to citizens. He expressed optimism that the government plan of providing affordable and accessible healthcare service was achievable within two years.
