Tinubu promises functional, innovative health care system, reverse brain drain if voted into office
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress , Senator Bola Tinubu, has promised to introduce innovative policies that will turn around the Nigerian health sector and improve the nation’s poor health indices if voted into power.
Tinubu who was represented by the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Aliyu Abdullahi, noted that though the budget for the health sector has been low, the major concern is how well the funds available have been utilized, adding that Nigeria needs to use technology to integrate all sources of financing meant for the health sector in order to ensure transparency and accountability in the system.
On measures his government will take to address medical tourism, Tinubu said: “It is not only to reverse the medical tourism, but it also is not rocket science. It is just a function of identifying the facilities you have based on what is on the ground and making sure that there is a match between those facilities, your funding and the personnel.
Also speaking, the convener of the HTC and former Commissioner for Health in Lagos State, Dr Jide Idris, stated that as Nigeria approaches an important political transition, addressing Nigeria’s health challenges requires a social contract based on a relationship between the citizens and the state. It was agreed that going forward, members of the health family need to be proactive by ensuring they participate in policy formation and design strategies for implementation, monitoring and evaluating outcomes.
