The Federal Government is set to unveil the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative in its efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage by 2030.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate who revealed this at a news briefing in Abuja, said a strategy to actualise this initiative will be signed in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, by governments at all levels and development partners to commemorate the 2023 UHC Day
UHC Day is commemorated on December 12 annually to celebrate the progress towards health for all and raise awareness of the need for strong and resilient health systems in achieving UHC with the theme for this year: Health for All, Time for Action.
Pate said the initiative aims to guide the renewal of Nigeria’s health system, noting that the initiative directly confronts poor population health outcomes, intensified by highly inequitable access to health.
He said, “The quest to achieve UHC and better health for all Nigerians requires a multi-sectoral and whole-of-government approach.
“Further to this, the government of Nigeria has articulated NHSRII to advance the nation’s journey towards UHC.”
