The Vice President who was represented at the National Health dialogue organized by Premium Times in Abuja by his Chief Physician Nicolas Audiferren stated the best option for the nation will be an effective national health insurance scheme.
“It has become obvious that the government, both at the state and federal levels, cannot accurately provide the needed health care services.
That’s a simple truth,” he said.“Our view is that an effective national health insurance scheme remains the best option for the development of our sector and for efficient health care services in this country.”
Also listing some achievements of the Buhari-led administration in the health sector, Osinbajo aslo added that the present government is dedicated to reaching a new height in the universal health coverage (UHC) for all Nigerians.
“We were able to allocate 1% of the consolidated revenue fund towards the funding of key health initiative in compliance with National Health act.
“Last year we also launched the patients’ bill of right, initiated renovations and improve the funding for primary health care institutions. We have been able to erase polio” he said
