blueto:Chai!! Supu!!! I love this!!! |
Nigerian Medical Association said it is shocked that N60 billion, equivalent of 1% of consolidated revenue guaranteed by the National Health Act to fund basic health, is missing from the 2016 budget. It said President Muhammadu Buhari's N6.08 trillion "budget of change" only provides N1, 448 per capita health spending, lower than the N1, 546 per capita spending in 2015, compared with a recommendation of N6, 908 by the World Health Organisation. In a statement on Friday, the NMA asked the National Assembly to "urgently review and revise the paltry allocation of N221.7 billion to the health ministry in the 2016 Appropriation Bill." NMA president Dr Kayode Obembe expressed dismay at "the sharp departure from the prescribed 15% of the national budget for health made in 2001 in a meeting of African Heads of States and Government which Nigeria hosted in Abuja." He said for Nigeria to go against its own commitments in the face of challenges in health was a "huge moral burden." Allocation for health amounts to only 3.65% of the 2016 budget, according to NMA, and would "never encourage the advancement of universal health coverage which is the only panacea towards improving availability, access, quality and efficiency of the health services to reduce the disparaging health indices which continue to malign the image of our country in the comity of nations." Obembe said “It is our considered opinion that Nigeria should show the way and provide leadership in Africa after having failed in this regard since 2001." Health allocation has hovered between three and six percent since 2001, compared with one-third of countries at the Abuja Declaration that have allocated at least 10% of their budget to health. Tanzania, Rwanda, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Malawi and Central African Republic have all marked up to 15% of their budget for health, according to WHO figures, the NMA said. "It is on this premise that we call on the National Assembly as the only organ that could mitigate this looming disaster in the healthcare delivery sector in 2016 at this juncture, to look dispassionately without any partisan sentiments at what should be done to substantially increase the allocation to the health ministry in order to deliver better healthcare to the Nigerian people," said Obembe. He said despite government's lofty plans to revitalise 1000 primary health centres by 2017 and upgrade tertiary hospitals to centres of excellence in order to mitigate medical tourism, only commensurate funding could drive the proposals to reasonable actualisation. "In this era of reduction in oil revenue, the economy will rest mainly on human resource potentialities and manpower developmental output," said Obembe. "Therefore the only road to economic recovery is for the Government to guarantee basic minimum package of healthcare to every citizen through Universal Health Coverage, UHC. "The panacea for the UHC is Community Based Health Insurance. This is achievable by increased budgetary allocation to healthcare (15%) and operationalization of National Health Act." www.medicalworldnigeria.com/2016/01/n60bn-health-fund-missing-from-2016-budget-nma |

Severe Head injury? Then she should be in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and not twitting. She doesn't understand what Head injury means. She was probably referring to SCALP injury... And that does not require Hospital admission. |
A stitch in time, our elders say, saves nine. |
Life starts after part 1 as a resident doctor but to cross that rubicon.... Hmmm.... To think that the criteria for passing are becoming more stringent is alarming... God help us!! |
Congrats Kano Junior. @OP has Kanu been convicted? The last time I checked he was still the accused. You know things change with such an alarming speed l may not have noticed.... Just my observation |
ozila:Never mind it showed not delivered initially.... Anyway u can bless another person na |
Thank you all for participating in wishing Naija good tidings in 2016. Still in the spirit of the new year celebration, l have decided to add one more person to benefit from the free Airtime. It is not that you all cannot afford an ordinary Airtime, rather it is just for us to have fun. The other winners are bestocrat, ritababe and ozila. So drop your contact and you will be contacted in due time. On that note, l hereby declare this ended. Have a *fantabulous* 2016 #GodblessNaija |

Fellow Nairalanders, we have come a long way , we survived the dangers that came with 2015, People predicted that Nigeria will disintegrate in 2015, many wished us war and waited to receive us as refugees but God shamed them. Thank God for that CALL from GEJ. Pray for more Peace in Nigeria and for Nigerians. Pray for the government to succeed in 2016. PMB is a mere human being. Five people Shall Win N500 Airtime from me. It is just my way of saying HAPPY NEW YEAR. To win, you have to be the first to comment, the 16th, the 20th, the 50th and the 100th. Best of luck. #GodblessNaija |
CODE OF MEDICAL ETHICS IN NIGERIA Duties of Physicians to the Sick A physician shall always bear in mind the obligation of preserving human life. A physician shall owe his patients complete loyalty and all the resources of his science. Whenever an examination or treatment is beyond the physician's capacity he should summon another physician who has the necessary ability. A physician shall preserve absolute confidentiality on all he knows about his patient even after the patient has died. A physician shall give emergency care as a humanitarian duty unless he is assured that others are willing and able to give such care. I am still trying to understand the rationale behind this house officer running across the road to buy airtime when he had bleeding and probably unconscious patients before him and to think that he even took picture(s) of such patients and posted it (them) online is unimaginable. Why was he left alone in the emergency room? Cramjones you need to visit what we have as emergency rooms in our hospitals, where you cannot get an ordinary N200 cannulla talk more of IV fluids. Patient relatives practically buy EVERY l mean EVERY item needed for treating their relatives... PITY In emergencies there is room for resuscitation before referral not the other way round. However some hospitals (because of bad experience in the past) insist on making some deposits..... I don't know what his hospital's policy regarding emergency services is. Because patients/relatives abuse such privilege save hospitals insist on full payment before admission and they have indigent forms that will take care of emergency services for ONLY 24 hours. That doctor did not do well and should learn that his oath said : first do no harm.... Running out for airtime caused the damage. |
Hmmm.... may the disasters and misfortunes of 2015 miss their road in their efforts to locate us in 2016, may they look for us and never find us. AMEN! Hit Like if this is your prayer for 2016 |
A house divided against itself should learn from Humpty Dumpty..... Before it is too late |
Those are uncoordinated attacks..... Buratai No no no they are unspectacular attacks... Lai Muhd No no no no they are just unstructured attacks.... PMB. Playing politics with human lives. God save us. |
Op you are right. Trust is to any relationship what salt is to soup. I tell you that girl has a dozen skeletons not just in her cupboard but under her bed. If she can not trust you to give an answer to your question then she can not be trusted as a friend talk more of a wife. Forget her unless if she is ready to answer you. |
I thought there was nothing like subsidy. |
If your cycle is btw 21 and 35 days then don't worry |
"unstructured attacks"..... APC and its leadership were too fast to give a deadline to annihiliate boko haram... that was thinking before acting. Even America did not give a deadline towards capturing osama, it took them ten years to achieve, they were not talking but working towards that and they achieved their aim. APC/PMB should stop giving us deadlines but rather devise strategies to destroy BH People, l mean Human beings are being killed not animals. |
A Polytechnic graduate? We are in deep sh*t..... I laugh at his "stupidness" |
