FG Spending on State House Clinic

We react to the story: "2016 Budget: Buhari to spend more on State House Clinic than on all federal govt-owned teaching hospitals."

This report is not simply off the mark but one that is insensitive to the government's effort to improve medical facilities at home in Nigeria.
According to the draft 2016 budget presented to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari, the budget for the State House Clinic is N3.8b.

Contrary to the published newspaper report, the total for health institutions as given by the Director-General, Budget Office is more than N200 billion. The 17 teaching hospitals have more than 50 percent of that allocation.

Anyone interested can check out the detailed allocations to the teaching hospitals, the federal medical centers and the specialist hospitals owned by the federal government.

It is also important to explain that the State House Clinic is not the President, or anyone's personal clinic but one which looks after government officials and many others who are not.

The increased spending on government health institutions in the current budget should be seen in the light of the administration's plan to improve medical facilities at home as a way of discouraging overseas trips in search of treatment by citizens which eat away from our foreign exchange.

Hmmmmmmm

There is a lot of sense here. Improve facilities in the villa clinic and medical tourism by villa personel will considerably reduce.

K

When?

Sure.

The few in Aso Rock are more important than the generality of the masses.

Sai Baba.

Change is what we voted for, so no complain.

Why budget billions for a family clinic?

Not my business

IPOB Youths and their wailing associates are trying their hardest to discredit this GREAT President

IT is DOA!!

95% of Nigerians are happy with the performance of Buhari and we fully support him

Now we know that they lied with the earlier report.

There is economic sense in providing more resource for public officials instead of them spending all that money abroad

God bless PMB and Nigeria

God punish IPOB wailers

hmmmm

Errors upon errors, contradictions upon contradictions. God help our Naija

Ok

nice

So can I drive into the state house clinic for check-up?

Ok! As usual

I never expected them to admit it! Propaganda Machine in action.

The only ministry in this present administration that has been working and that has lived up to 'expectation' is the Ministry of Information.

In fact I vote them the best performing Ministry in PMB administration that is the only Ministry with a round peg in a round hole.

Change is here

Contrary to the earlier report that president Buhari allocated more funds of the budget to state hospitals rehabilitation n maintainance than the federal teaching hospitals ,this particular article piece is stating that federal teaching hospitals have more budgetary allocation. I think since each state has allocations and generate funds internally, they should also be responsible for their states hospitals , while the fed. Govt allocates more to fed. Teaching hospitals.

Buhari won't rest till he run this country to the ground.

This makes a lot of senses

Mrs. Pidgin, did you bother to read the post? If you did you would have noticed where it said it is not for the president.
