The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof Muhammad Pate, on Wednesday, disclosed that the Federal Government had enrolled about seven hundred and fifty thousand Nigerians into the National Health Insurance Scheme.
Pate stated this at the third edition of the ministerial press briefing series initiated by the Ministry of Information in Abuja, noting that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration will unveil a comprehensive programme to digitise the nation’s healthcare system in the next two weeks.
The briefing series was initiated to provide a platform for public officials to reel out their achievements and apprise Nigerians of the challenges of governance.
Meanwhile the minister, also said the Federal Government has recruited over two thousand doctors, midwives, nurses, and Community Health Extension Workers in the last six months to bridge the manpower shortage in the health sector.
Pate, however, said President Bola Tinubu had made remarkable strides made in enhancing healthcare accessibility, affordability, and quality.
