Our Government and the Health sector

1 Mins read
You could not make this up…but this is how our health sector is being run…

2 years after a failing agency the National Programme for Immunisation was absorbed into a failed agency the National Primary Health Care Development Agency a bill has just been sent to the National Assembly to amend the National Primary Health Care Development Agency Act, 1992 and repeal the National Programme on Immunisation Act, 1997.

…yet the gist out of Nigeria is that “immunisation” is about to be taken out of National Primary Health Care Development Agency back to the Ministry of Health, Department of Public Health; where it was before the formation of NPI in 1997!!!! Carousel chairs…our favourite pass-time…

No mention of health in our president’s independence address ...no surprise there.

Look who is intervening….Senate would soon set guidelines for the operations of the National Hospital, Abuja, having concluded public hearing on activities of the hospital.

And …the Federal Government announces the introduction of yearly “Know-Your-Status Week,” as part of the war (what war?) against the pandemic. ….

Join us in trying to put health back on the agenda of governance in Nigeria at a conference in London on the 22nd of November 2008.
