Urban Health: Stakeholders Advocate Healthcare In Slums

The stakeholders came together for a virtual policy dialogue on the state of health and healthcare in urban slums, hosted by the CHORUS Urban Consortium Research Team, based at the Health Policy Research Group , University of Nigeria.

Professor Chinyere Mbachu who manages the CHORUS Project in the country reported the poor state of healthcare in slums, drawing from research evidence collected over a two year-period. Also, an urban planning expert, Dr Victor Onyebueke said „Every slum in Nigeria is an eviction waiting to happen”. For him, as government has refused to recognise slums as residences of people and deserving of some level of attention to be upgraded, the health security of slums may never be achieved.
