The federal government, through the Ministerial Oversight Committee (MOC) has initiated significant reforms on the Basic Health Care Provision Fund.
The committee made this known at the eighth MOC meeting of the fund in Abuja.
It said the reforms led by a sub-committee established during the 5th MOC meeting in 2023, include an ongoing review of the fund’s guideline, operational architecture reforms, and strengthening governance structures.
The committee said the initiated reforms are in alignment with Nigeria’s Health Sector Renewal Initiative and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s endorsement of a sector-wide approach.
Speaking during the meeting, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, said the integrated healthcare workers training is underway.
He said the federal government is also working hard to tackle maternal mortality and improve child health outcomes in Nigeria.
