Pate said that the ECOWAS sub-region was faced with high disease burden, adding that non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cancers were on the rise, placing a significant burden on the region’s health systems. He said: “The primary focus for our sub-region, as articulated by our technical experts, is the fortification of our healthcare systems, which should be the backbone of our societal well-being. This encompasses not only the infrastructure but also investing in human resources for health and integrating innovative technologies to ensure comprehensive health services are accessible.”
“Enhancing both access and quality is essential to improving population health outcomes, and poor-quality care is actually a waste of resources. Therefore, investing in quality will only stretch the resources we have to achieve better health outcomes for our populations,” Pate added.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
