Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s vice president has said government both at the national and state level cannot provide adequate health care for its populace.

Mr Osinbajo stated this on Tuesday while declaring open the national health dialogue organised by Premium Times in Abuja.

The number two citizen represented by Nicolas Audiferren, his chief physician, suggested that an effective national health insurance scheme may be the best option for the development of the nation’s health sector.

“It has become obvious that the government, both at the state and federal levels, cannot adequately provide health care services. That’s the simple truth,” the vice president said.



“Our view is that an effective national health insurance scheme remains the best option for the development of our sector and for efficient health care services in this country,” he added.

Osinbajo reeled out some of the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari administration in the health sector.

“We were able to allocate 1% of the consolidated revenue fund towards the funding of key health initiative in compliance with National Health act.

“Last year we also launched the patients’ bill of right, initiated renovations and improve funding for primary health care institutions. We have been able to eradicate polio.” he said.

Although his principal vowed to end medical tourism abroad for government officials while seeking to be president, he has however not succeeded in doing so as at press time.

It is well.

Why are other countries not run by fantastically corrupt leaders able to provide healthcare for their citizens?Do their leaders have two heads

Really?

May God bless Nigeria and help our leaders to be able to do more

“We were able to allocate 1% of the consolidated revenue fund towards the funding of key health initiative in compliance with National Health act.

“Last year we also launched the patients’ bill of right, initiated renovations and improve funding for primary health care institutions. We have been able to eradicate polio.” he said.

BUT NO, WE ONLY READ THE HEADLINES AND CONCLUDE THEN START TYPING TRASH ON THE COMMENTS THREAD.

We never see the solution on what is being done already.

Am still looking for where the headline correlates with the content of the story.

"The number two citizen represented by Nicolas Audiferren, his chief physician, suggested that an effective national health insurance scheme may be the best option for the development of the nation’s health sector"....

What a confusing healine, Osinbajo has never and will never say a thing of such. The governments are to provide adequate health care to every Nigerians.

VP never said such. I wonder why people will just sit and form stupid posts. May God save us from all these lies

I believe Nicolas is actually explaining the importance of the health insurance as a medium of getting adequate health care.

Many are gullible in this street, can u listen to yourselves, 1. This man was represented and 2. Here's the quote before using this devilish headline. *an effective national health insurance scheme may be the best option for the development of the nation’s health sector.*
Don't be unfortunate

And am so sure many people won't read the main news. Stupid headline

even if as at now the capacity is lacking to provide adequate health care, a further read into the article would have revealed that plans were being made to strengthen the NHIS for that very purpose.

being swayed by mischievous headlines is our most gullible deficiency

Hmm

You should understand he's only trying to explain the importance of health care policies

The only thing we need in Nigeria's is prayer to this administration for more work to be done, May God help us all

Nigerians enjoy negativity. The headline is misleading and some people wouldn't mind reading the body.

Ok, what is it that the APC government can adequately provide for Nigerians?

Why is that Nigerians especially the so called journalist always making issue out of nothing. What Mr Nicholas on behalf of his principal VP Yemi Osinbajo said about the provision of health care has nothing to do with the inability of federal government to provide health care for it citizens neither is not a denail of them the benefit of adequate health care but sometimes waiting for free medical attention may not work out as it is expected. Futhermore, government in it magnanimous kindness has made provision in which Nigerians can be effectively attended to medically with the payment of token through a scheme called NHIS therefore, why is it that online miscreant are so full of hatred, making noise and raising dust over irrelevant matter. My earnest prayer to God for you is quick recovery from mental and mind feebleness so that you will able to think straight
