These statistics are unacceptable for a nation like ours. This is why, today, the National Assembly passed the   # Budget2018   with the stipulation that 1% of the CRF must be used to fund healthcare across the nation in the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF).

On behalf of all medical professionals, I want to thank the National Assembly for this''.
