The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved a $1 billion facility to support all 36 states of the federation in addressing the challenges of child and maternal mortality in Nigeria.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Ali Pate, disclosed this on Monday during the flag-off of the Co-Creation Workshop on the Ogun State Maternal and Newborn Mortality Reduction Innovation and Initiative, held at Oke Mosan, Abeokuta. Dr Pate added that the Federal Government is also upgrading 774 medical facilities nationwide to serve as referral centres, providing free treatment for urgent obstetric cases.
That is why we must have a unified conversation, a shared budget, and a collective effort towards achieving the desired results. “We are fostering synergies between the federal, state, and local governments because that is the only way to make real progress. Moreover, given the diversity of this country, a one-size-fits-all solution from Abuja will not work, as each region has its unique challenges,” he stated.
