Nigeria risks another pandemic if it fails to take advantage of opportunities presented by COVID-19 to develop its health infrastructure, the Federal Government has warned.
According to him: “If we lose the sense of the moment, we will be confronted with another pandemic and we will find ourselves starting all over again.“If we had built on the experiences of Ebola and other epidemics that we have dealt with in the past, probably today we wouldn’t have started with about two molecular laboratories for the testing of COVID-19.”
He appealed to members of the Board of Experts to also look at governance structures in the healthcare sector apart from your primary responsibilities.COVID-19, the SGF said, “has exposed the weaknesses in our health system, in our governance system, in our security infrastructure, in our inclusiveness and creating social safety nets for our people.”
CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said: “Currently, 20 projects valued at ₦26.278 Billion have been funded under the ₦100billion credit support intervention for the healthcare industry.”
