The World Health Organisation says the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care has committed £2 million to improve the healthcare delivery in Nigeria.
“Nigerian health system like many countries in the global south has been beset with challenges in having a resilient health system that is able to provide quality health services, promote health and prevent diseases. “A skilled, well-motivated and adequate health workforce is critical for Nigeria to #EndPreventableDeaths and build resilience against global threats,” he said.
“It will help to align investment in HRH with the current and future needs of the population and health systems; strengthen the capacity of institutions including regulatory bodies for effective public policy stewardship, leadership and governance, optimize health workers’ retention, equitable distribution, and performance and strengthen the management of health workforce data for monitoring and accountability.“The project will implement interventions in Nigeria.
