THE Federal Government yesterday said it would
no longer provide resources to any government
official to travel abroad for medical attention on
cases that could be handled in the country.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 56th
Annual General Conference and delegates meeting
of Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, in Sokoto,
President Muhammadu Buhari, said his
administration would not encourage expending
hard earned resources on any government official
seeking medical care abroad.
Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of
Health Professor Isaac Adewole, said “While this
administration will not deny anyone of his or her
fundamental human rights, we will certainly not
encourage expending Nigerian hard-earned
resources on any government official seeking
medical care abroad, when such can be handled
in Nigeria.”
He called on health professionals to avoid inter-
professional crises which had impacted negatively
on the nation’s healthcare delivery system.
“We have seen the hazards that this unfortunate
and highly preventable problems have caused to
the quality of health care delivery in Nigeria. May
I employ members of NMA to always imbibe the
spirit of team work to ensure harmonious
relationship with other health professionals, no
profession can effectively and efficiently function
without the other”, he said.
He pledged government commitment to welfare of
the health professionals, adding that “government
will review all previous agreements and take
reasonable decisions that will not infringe on the
right of the workers and also invest in
programmes that will improve capacity of all
cadres of health workers.”
