The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole has stated that the Federal Government has plans to offer free health care to 100 million Nigerians in 2 years.

The minister disclosed this while speaking on Thursday at a weekly broadcast on the African Independent Television.

The minister said for the government to achieve the target, primary healthcare services would be revamped and the government would take to the “the universally accepted concept of one primary healthcare centre per political ward”.



He disclosed that pregnant women would be one of the beneficiaries of the scheme.

“One of the things we want to do under the revitalised PHC programme is that each of these revitalised, reinvigorated PHC will have an industrial borehole so that we can offer water to the people, clean drinkable water,” he said.

”The primary healthcare facilities, according to the minister,will be managed by nurses, mid-wives and village workers so as to accommodate cultural differences in different parts of Nigeria. “If we do not (do this), people will not use the facilities.”

Great, even Dr.Jonathan could not achieve this thought process in meeting the needs of Primary Health Care, a key instrument in reducing deaths in the country.

If implemented, then the FG will single handedly win the hearts of pregnant women

I totally agree with you my Bro. Most laudable programs on paper never see the light of day in reality. There are a lot of abandoned programs like the Midwives service schemes (MSS), SURE-P on health, free maternal and child health programs, HIV-AIDS National programs etc, good programs I must confess but most are non-existent today.
The NGOs running some of these programs are already pulling out because our so called leaders are markedly irresponsible and unserious about the basic needs of her people.
Nigeria is a huge joke!!!

Just when I was beginning to think you could go a day without blaming Jonathan.

Come on, stop living in darkness.

Even T. A. Orji, the acclaimed worst Governor in Nigeria maintained one healthcare centre per polling booth in my constituency for eight Years.

The cares, medicine and treatments are completely free though not comprehensive enough.

Fear of GEJ's achievements by the Zombies.

Easy on urself; I know u want to compare at any given opportunity. I give APC 8years, they won't achieve 1/5 of his achievement. .
Don't worry, we the wailers know this. So we are not bothered. Wen u guys are done with wasteful 3years. Cos 1year is gone. U will pack out urself.

Funny Zombies.

if a government can care about the health of her citizens, then medical tourism among the nigerian elite will gradually reduce nd the life span of the average naija man will be extended

Is it that it's a useless policy and you pray it never happens or you are just a hopeless soul.give me reasons without insults that I have a feeling you will dish out

Stop Talking and start Acting.

E b lyk say e b lyk say dem want 2 tell us anoda story again!
... The phc centers already existing, are they properly staffed?
When they build new ones, would the incessant strike in the health sector allow any meaningful activity? What is the ratio of health providers to population in Nigeria? There's alot to be done, making unrealistic promises won't help

IPOB Youths that are still suffering from war induced kwashokor symptoms will still be the first people to criticize this policy

This is a lovely development

ehn ehnnn!!

good move. i hope its free free oo.. no hidden charges

I sincerely implore any kind spirited Nigerian to do us all a favour by reminding this government that campaign is over... they should get down to the serious business of governance

Borehole is equal to primary health care?
Anyway this propaganda is strictly
for Sai-babarians.

E don happen o!

Jonathan achieved a lot with Sure-p maternal and child health/ midwives service scheme.

The high rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity we often record in Nigeria was reduced substantially but since the advent of the new administration, all were squashed with no hope in future for revival. The tail signs are beginning to come back most especially in the northern states.

Free Health Service?

Free Health Services don't exist anywhere, even in the richest countries of the world.

This is another APC Propaganda of Falsehood to deceive the most gullible Nigerians.
