The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to enhance healthcare delivery through a comprehensive overhaul of the health system, aiming to improve the quality of life for all Nigerians.
Speaking at the 40th anniversary of the Society for Family Health (SFH) in Abuja, Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, emphasized the urgency of addressing global health challenges such as pandemics, non-communicable diseases, and healthcare inequities.
He underscored the government’s commitment to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), reducing maternal mortality, and building a robust, community-focused health system.
The Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII) was highlighted as a strategic framework uniting stakeholders across sectors to ensure affordable, sustainable, and equitable healthcare for all Nigerians.
Prof. Pate also commended SFH’s contributions over the past four decades in empowering families, training health professionals, and strengthening community health systems.
SFH Managing Director, Dr. Omokhudu Idogho, shared the organization’s impressive milestones, including preventing 50 million deaths and averting 62 million unintended pregnancies.
He announced SFH’s new strategic plan, “Beyond Boundaries: 2024–2030,” designed to drive healthcare innovation and expand access to essential services across Nigeria.
This move signals a renewed focus on integrating technology, enhancing supply chains, and fostering public-private partnerships to create an inclusive and resilient healthcare system.
