Nigeria must explore other sources outside the budget to effectively finance its health sector, the Director-General, Budget Office, Ben Akabueze, has said.

Mr Akabueze spoke on Tuesday at a workshop in Abuja organised by the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative , under the theme: “Nigeria Value for Money in the Health Sector.”

Mr Akabueze said the federal government has in the past few years increased its effort in financing the sector. This, he said is evident in the amount allocated to the sector in the 2018 and 2019 budgets as well as the accommodation of the Basic HealthCare Provision Funds in the 2018 Budget. The highest allocation since the declaration was in 2012 when 5.95 per cent of the federal budget went to health.

The BHCPF in the 2018 appropriate bill was N55 billion and in the proposed 2019 Budget, N51.22 billion. He said this is the reason it is necessary to start thinking of alternative means of funding the health sector.
