UHC: Nigerian journalists seek improved funding for health sector

The Association of Nigeria Health Journalists (ANHEJ), are advocating improved health security and increased funding for the sector if the country is to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030.

The president of the association, Joseph Kadiri, made this known while speaking at ANHEJ’s annual conference in Akwanga, Nasarawa State on Thursday.

Mr Kadiri said the conference themed: “Health Security: Nigeria’s Efforts to Achieve Universal Health Coverage,” is prompted by the global discourse surrounding health security which he noted has been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
