The Federal Government has inaugurated a 15-man committee on Basic Health Care Provision Fund BHCPF to reform the health sector, particularly, the primary healthcare services.
This was disclosed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, at the inauguration ceremony, yesterday in Abuja.
According to him the aim of reforming the sector is to provide quality basic health care services to all Nigerians adding that it was a demonstration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to reform the health sector with emphasis on rural dwellers and the vulnerable in the society.
The SGF further noted that despite the budgetary allocation for the operationalization of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund BHCPF, many Nigerians have not benefited from it since six years of its establishment emphasizing that the Joint Working Committee was constituted to provide an effective stakeholders’ coordination mechanism towards the actualization of the fund.
