The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the health sector and allocate significant votes to it in the 2024 budget estimates.
This followed a motion by Fayinka Oluwatoyin (APC-Lagos) during the plenary in Abuja.
The motion was titled, ‘Need for the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHDA) to collaborate with relevant health agencies in states and Local Governments to ensure the functionality of Primary Healthcare Centres.’
