Tinubu administration to prioritise domestic health financing, others – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has said increasing domestic health financing, industrialisation and improved health outcomes will be topmost on the agenda of the Bola Tinubu administration in the health sector.

The vice president stated this on Tuesday when a delegation from the Global Health Partners – the Global Fund, US President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), and the US President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Mr Shettima, who restated the commitment of the Tinubu administration to repositioning Nigeria’s healthcare system, pledged the president’s political support to “improve health outcomes for all Nigerians; increased domestic financing for health; and promoting health industrialisation.”
