Stakeholders urge action to transform Nigeria’s health sector
Over the years, the nation’s health sector has been beleaguered with a plethora of challenges ranging from brain drain of its workforce, dearth of infrastructure and reliable data/market size, lack of confidence in the sector, resulting in an alarming rate of medical tourism and other things which have affected health outcomes and quality of healthcare received.
With the private sector responsible for the provision of 60 percent of healthcare services in Nigeria, according to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Healthcare Federation of Nigeria (HFN) has tasked stakeholders in the private health sector on quality healthcare delivery and synergy in order for Nigeria to take its place of ride on the African continent, and attract investors to the sector.
