We are also committed to improving the fiscal space for health as we are aware of the challenges of adequate funding for Routine Immunization and what is needed for the final push to eradicate Polio in Nigeria.
We will engage all interested stakeholders including the private sector to innovatively improve health care financing via public-private partnership and mobilizing   more domestic resources. We should utilize funding from international development partners as complementary not the main source of funding for our health sector. I am also committed to the full implementation of the recently signed National Health Act which provides a framework for reforming the health sector.
Nigeria will take its leadership position in leading other African countries in providing innovative solutions to the myriad health problems in Nigeria and Africa in general. This we will achieve by meaningful engagement of African heads of states and international players at ECOWAS, African Union, World Health Assembly and United Nations.”
This was President Buhari in my dream speaking on May 29th 2015 during his inaugural speech at Eagle Square in Abuja. While it is a dream, it is not impossible for the president to say the above. The reader might remember the article that I published on these pages ‘Why the Health Sector must engage Buhari’s Transition Committee? -http:
