 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept." A report by a United Nations group of experts in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over the rebels. Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting. Corneille Nangaa, leader of the Congo River Allia...

 PRESS RELEASE 


National Dialogue on Power in Health Sector: FG Sets Up Committee To Resolve Electricity Challenges In Public Healthcare Facilities 


The Federal Government has inaugurated an Implementation Committee for National Stakeholders Dialogue on Power in the Health sector, aimed at achieving sustainable electrification of public healthcare facilities.


The primary objective of the national dialogue is to amongst others enhance public- private partnerships to ensure a steady electricity supply to public health institutions. 


It will also identify alternative and sustainable solutions by exploring renewable energy options, backup power systems and, energy-efficient solutions to enhance power reliability in tertiary and other health facilities across the  country.


Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako Honourable Minister of State for Health & Social Welfare announced the urgent initiative during the inauguration of the implementation committee for national dialogue on power in the health sector at the Ministry's headquarters office in Abuja. 


During the inauguration, the Minister highlighted the compelling reasons for hosting a national dialogue on power to resolve electricity challenges in our public healthcare facilities.


He said: " It is obvious that the current efforts are neither integrated nor guided by any holistic framework, operational guideline, or overarching policy.


We can no longer afford business as usual in the face of mounting energy bills of our hospitals. The time has come for  all hands to be on  deck to relieve our hospitals of the burden of prohibitive costs of power supply which gulps hundreds of millions of naira".


To this end, Dr. Salako said his decision to inaugurate an Implementation Committee for national dialogue on power in the health sector was informed by the compelling need to plan and prepare adequately to prevent poor performance.


According to the Minister, the terms of reference for the committee are as follows:


I. Convene the National Stakeholders Dialogue on Power in the Health Sector;

ii. Ensure effective implementation of recommendations from the National Dialogue;

iii. Mobilize resources and attract investments for sustainable electrification of public healthcare facilities, using a whole-of-government approach.


Dr. Salako seized the opportunity of the inauguration to appreciate the priority attention accorded the health sector by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, which he stated, is steadily taking Nigeria on the path to universal health coverage.


Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary;  represented by Dr. Salahudeen Jimoh mni Director Hospital Services Department; emphasized the critical importance of power to tertiary and other public health facilities in ensuring effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services to Nigerians.


She expressed optimism that with the proposed national dialogue on power, comprising major stakeholders, the teething problem of electricity challenges in our healthcare facilities would be comprehensively addressed and resolved.
