Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, says the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu will increase domestic health financing to improve outcomes 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.
The Vice President 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 industrialization.”
In Their Remarks, Peter Sands of the Global Fund and David Walton of the President’s Malaria Initiative commended the Nigerian Government for its efforts towards combating Malaria, HIV AIDS and Tuberculosis and urged all stakeholders to sustain the momentum, especially in the bid to achieve the 2030 target of eradicating HIV AIDS in Nigeria.
