In his opening remarks, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Special Needs and Equal opportunities, Hon.

Hon. Muhammed Abba Isa, called on members of the committee to embrace their roles as champions of inclusive healthcare, charging them to work tirelessly and collectively to turn the vision into reality and carry everyone along regardless of ability to receive the care and support they deserve.

Also speaking the Executive Secretary/CEO, National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, Mr. James David Lalu, stressed the need to include persons with disabilities in the health insurance scheme.
