HEALTH SECTOR REFORM: LASG ANNOUNCES DEPLOYMENT OF NEWLY APPOINTED PERMANENT.(PHOTOS).#PRESS RELEASE




"I am pleased to announce the unbundling of the Lagos health sector, a crucial move to address the existing gaps and ensure improved coverage for all residents. 


By creating six primary care districts, we are taking a proactive step towards delivering universal health services to every resident. 


The decision to establish these PHC districts was driven by our commitment to leaving no one behind and recognizing the need to reach low-income communities and provide them with adequate and quality healthcare.


To effectively manage and supervise the operations of the primary health care districts, I have appointed Permanent Secretaries. Elevating medical practitioners in the public service to the position of Permanent Secretary is a testament to their expertise and commitment. Their valuable experience will ensure that the primary care districts operate at the highest standards, delivering quality care to our residents. 


It also gives me immense pride to share that gender equality was a top priority in the appointment of permanent secretaries. With a balanced division of men and women in these leadership roles, we are fostering inclusive decision-making and driving progress towards a stronger Lagos.


Our vision for a Greater Lagos Rising demands transformative reforms. The expansion of administrative districts in the health sector is aligned with our unbundling efforts across various sectors. Together, we will achieve comprehensive health coverage and a brighter future for all"- Gov. Sanwo-Olu
