Experts seek robust implementation of health sector renewal initiative

Experts in Nigeria’s health sector have called for coordinated efforts in the implementation of the recently developed Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHISRII).

The initiative, launched by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, in December was part of the government’s strategy to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030.

Speaking during a panel session on Wednesday, experts from academia, the health sector, the ministry of health, and the government, noted that the coordination in implementing the strategies would determine the outcome of the initiative.
