The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, has hinted that the three major under-five killer diseases, Malaria, Diarrhea and pneumonia are preventable and treatable in Primary Health Care centres.

“Our traditional institution is pivotal to whatever we do in all sectors, especially in health and government is conscious of the fact that alone, it cannot effectively safeguard the health of the people without the support of our Royal fathers.

“I look forward to this Committee intensifying our community mobilization efforts and advocating to our political leaders at all levels the unquantifiable benefits of investing in the health sector, particularly in primary health care, which is the closest to the people. I believe that working together will fast-track the achievement of our regional and national targets in Routine immunization, COVID-19 vaccination, polio eradication, and maternal and child health,” he stressed.

According to him: ” The MoU is a work in progress, we are not talking the talk, we are working the work. We are able to eradicate polio in Nigeria, and female genital mutilation is going out of fashion.
