President Muhammadu Buhari is to launch the Basic Health Care Provision Fund Scheme for access to medical facilities by women and children at no cost in a couple of weeks.

The Executive Secretary of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, (NPHCDA), Dr. Faisal Shuaib, made the disclosure yesterday at an engagement workshop with low-performing local government areas on routine immunisation performance in Kaduna.

He said the initiative was to prevent women and children from preventable diseases.


Shuaib noted that the scheme would provide insurance and primary healthcare interventions for the targets in a way that they would not have to suffer from their illnesses.

“In the next few weeks, President Buhari will be launching the basic healthcare provision fund, which is a giant leap towards universal health coverage for Nigerians,” the NPHCDA boss said.

This is awesome and the way it should be.

Another SDG in the bag as is the norm in other nations.

A focused leader who is bent on given value to the poor masses in Nigeria unlike how it used to be in previous administrations which were for the rich alone.

NEXT LEVEL IS THE NAME
2023 IS THE AIM

This is highly welcomed. It will no doubt reduce maternal and infant mortality which rate is presently worrisome.. But which health facilities are going to be used, states or LGs. Awaiting full disclosure. In any case

How is he going to fund this lie? !!!! Another Air Nigeria scam loading

I think LGs will be more grassroot and more effective.

It is indeed extremely laudable.

At least once this gets rolling those foolish hospitals that always demand for deposit before treatment will stop that nonsense and the poor can get access to much needed health care

lol


anyone else notice how they've been launching or promising to launch a whole lot of citizen friendly policies these days.


Election period issa go!

This scam govt should go pls

Atiku tsunami will supersede that fraudulent health care scheme

I think LGs will be more grassroot and more effective.

Should this be the case then the workforce at the LG level will need upgrading to include ideally a gynaecologist and a paediatrician per health facility for quality health care delivery or at least 2 medical officers. It will require much money. It is doable, nevertheless.

What you are saying translates to more jobs being created in the medical sector.

Of course it would be strictly government related hospitals and health centers that most likely would be used

A PPP approach would have been more appropriate or a health scheme akin to the NHIS but unfortunately such approach in the Nigerian setting will be subject to abuse just like the present NHIS. Private sector involvement will still guarantee employment of more health personnel and deeper penetration.

Why wait till now to do This?

Waste of time, Atiku will do it. He should take his lifelessness to that useless daura

Help me ask them. Everything UN and other world bodies will be talking of girl child education, women and children. Boy child education nko?

Nobody should accept any free health Care from Buhari this time. He’s desperate to do what his masters told him “ Go and reduce your peoples population”. He’s ready to inject all our women to prevent them from having babies.

Be careful with Buhari, he doesn’t have a brain

In America a white woman will have 4 baby daddy or four husbands in her lifetime and 8 children. They need to reduce their own population not us

Why is he launching it now

Let the government provide medical facilities and instruments for the present hospitals in the country, pay salaries of the doctors and other medical professionals regularly.

"We will", "To", elections is coming up so we are having all sorts of statement

Let the wasting begin...

Misplaced priorities

Jubr**

Jubril you won't come back , no need

Campaign has started
