FG declares state of emergency in health sector

Federal Government has declared a state of emergency in the country’s health sector.

This declaration comes as stakeholders from the sector gather in Ekiti State for the 64th National Council on Health, where important issues regarding the health sector will be discussed.

During the opening ceremony on Thursday, the focus was on setting the tone for the event. The theme revolves around building a resilient and inclusive healthcare system for a healthy Nigeria.

Dr Muhammed Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare, emphasised that Nigeria’s health facilities are in poor condition and require urgent intervention.

Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State, expressed his excitement at hosting the 64th National Council on Health and having delegates from across the country, including international stakeholders in health policy development, attend the council meeting.

He highlighted the state’s significant achievements in the health sector over the past few years.

In a recent motion during a plenary session in Abuja, a Lagos lawmaker, Fayinka Oluwatoyin (APC), called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the sector and allocate substantial funds to it in the 2024 budget.
