 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

 PRESS RELEASE 


NIGERIA PARTICIPATION IN THE BRICS MINISTER'S OF HEALTH MEETING HELD AT BRASILIA, BRASIL.


In January this year, in recognition of the strategic position of Nigeria and demonstration of confidence in the government of PBAT, Nigeria was admitted as a partner country of BRICS.


BRICS (now BRICS+) was formed 16 years ago and consists some of the most populous and influential nations in the world (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Indonesia etc) who are cooperating to reform global governance and advocating for the interest of global south. BRICS+ represents 46% of the world's population, and 25% of the world's landmass.


Nigeria delegation led by the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Kunle Salako participated in the BRICS Minister's of Health Meeting, which took place in Brasilia, Brazil for the first time. The delegation also took part in a high level event on promotion of adequate and healthy eating practices and their contribution to the prevention of non-communicable chronic conditions.


The meeting concluded with a ministerial declaration around global health that alligns with key health priorities of the Tinubu administration such as domestic production of pharmaceuticals and vaccines,  AI, digital health,  data governance,  universal health coverage, priority attention on prevention and control of Non Communicable Diseases and Neglected Tropical Diseases, health security and so on.


 Apart from using the platform to showcase PBAT reform agenda and milestone achievements in the health sector, it was an opportunity to strengthen our south-south cooperation agenda especially with key BRICS countries like Brazil and China.  


We were able to deepen discussions on the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism as it relates to the health sector with a high possibility of an MOU being signed during the visit of the VP of Brazil later in the month. 


We also opened a discussion with China to participate in addressing challenges of power in the health sector and our agenda for phytomedicine development. Chinese companies are expected to participate in the National Dialogue on Power in the Health Sector scheduled to hold later in the year. 


The Federal Ministry of Health remains grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his concerted international diplomacy which is opening up new vistas of cooperation for us in the health sector.
