The president urged the course participants of the Senior Executive Course, SEC 41 of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS, to provide solutions to issues that could close the gaps in the institutional, legal and policy frameworks for funding universal healthcare delivery for the good of the country.

Represented by the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, Buhari, noted that he approved the theme of the study, ‘Funding Universal Healthcare Delivery in Nigeria’ out of his desire to tackle challenges of the health sector funding. “The essence of this programme is to ensure that quality basic healthcare services are delivered to the majority of Nigerians across the country irrespective of their locations.Early in 2018,Government provided N55.1billion, which is the 1 percent Consolidated Revenue Fund to cater for the Basic Healthcare Fund, provided for in the National Health Act.

vanguardngr Even the chief medical tourist is complaining... lol

vanguardngr Lol. So who is to be blame.

vanguardngr How much did you spend on your own medical tourism? Nigerians want to know

vanguardngr how much did Buhari's 6 months cumulative medical treatment in London with his presidential jet cost Nigeria?

vanguardngr Doning Kruger effect.

vanguardngr Arrant cant, and typical of Buhari! Prior to becoming the President, Buhari, vehemently railed against medical tourism. However, on assuming office as the President, he became the foremost medical tourist, on planet earth. What inveterate hypocrisy!

vanguardngr Says the Medical Tourist in Chief. Hypocrisy at its peak

vanguardngr When you spend 200bn alone on your medical holiday every year, while the remaining 200bn is being share among your ministers.

vanguardngr tf is medical tourism?

vanguardngr Did this man actually said this?If he did,he is shameless.

vanguardngr He should tell us how much we have lost through him to medical and health tourism MBuhari in just hundred day.with due respect to you sir, you are not transparent at all

vanguardngr Most useless of them all

vanguardngr

vanguardngr And you spent 399 billion on your medical tourism

vanguardngr 😂😂😂😂😂....our president is no longer aware he once spend more than 3 months in London for medical treatment. We die here!

vanguardngr And buhari is top of that list...they've made our country to be only good for burial. Is Nigeria a graveyard? They will school abroad, go to hospitals abroad, vacation abroad, shop abroad...the only thing they want is to be buried here... Thunder will fire somebody.

vanguardngr What about this: 'Nigeria loses N400bn annually on MY medical tourism to London'

vanguardngr This country is a scam.

vanguardngr I think the 16 years of the PDP administration must have been responsible for this annual loss..🙄🙄🙄

vanguardngr Buhari is No 1 medical tourist.

vanguardngr N399.9999 billion is spent on your medical trips annually, yet we don't see the result.

vanguardngr number one tourist

vanguardngr Irony of the century is when a man of 'integrity' vows (while seeking a return to power, to partake in a democracy which his uniform didn't give a chance to evolve) to stop medical tourism if elected, but becomes the biggest med tourist with no accountability

vanguardngr Hehehehehe see Bubu of quarterly overseas check up talking...talk about removing dat giant log in d eye. Nothing person no go hear on naija political streets

vanguardngr Is this man ok...?

vanguardngr This is foolish talk. You're the first culprit and should be punished.

vanguardngr I TAKE IT THAT BUHARI HAS FINALLY CONFESSED THAT HIS OVERSEAS TREATMENTS LAST YEAR COST NIGERIA N400 BILLION. GOD HAS FORCED HIM TO STATE THE TRUTH.

vanguardngr What next, instead of resigning you rigged yourself back in office. Shame on you and your cronies

vanguardngr You're the biggest contributor to fund your excellency.

vanguardngr Sai Baba... this one weak me... Do you make use of our local medical facilities? You travel abroad for medical check up and now you say we are loosing 400bn... charity begins at home sir!

vanguardngr Lol. Tell us more sir!

vanguardngr And the president is the chief medical tourist of Nigeria

vanguardngr Thanks for the info sir, NEXT

vanguardngr More than half of that was spent on you sir. Could Nigerian doctors not have treated you well or the facility lacking? Then you're indicting yourself cos you have power to change all that yet you do nothing. Thanks to you

vanguardngr Hahaha, that's your medic bill Mr President.

vanguardngr Own goal!! 🤣😹😂

vanguardngr I think MBuhari has finally told us how much he spend on his medical tourism

vanguardngr That includes ur treatment too

vanguardngr 50% of this lose is from the president MBuhari medical bill and then senators,ministers and governors share the rest.

vanguardngr That's what they asked him to say. So,don't blame him.

vanguardngr Our oga dey tell us about himself.....Na wa...lol

vanguardngr Face of Hypocrisy

vanguardngr Saw many comments and I understand why Nigeria is in this mess... Did y'all even open the link to read the article?.. The gov't made emphasis on doing something about the health sector 'Represented by the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, Buhari, noted that he approved...'

vanguardngr 👀

vanguardngr Did the President actually say this? I doubt. He couldn't have said that. Mr. President Sir MBuhari if truly you said this, it simply means your conscience is dead. I mean how could you shamelessly say a thing like this after wasting tax payers money on your many medical trips?

vanguardngr Lol. No be u dey spend am?

vanguardngr Thank God you have finally confessed the amount of money you waste for your hospital trips abroad.

vanguardngr Politicians like himself could easily account for 30%of that

vanguardngr Is Buhari as foolish as his followers? Can this idiotic President be liken to pastors who say do what I say, don't do what I do? Am perplexed at this man hypocrisy.

vanguardngr Chief of the tourist

vanguardngr Our president contributed to 95% of that figure

vanguardngr They were asking how much he spends in his medical trip, now he has told us 'N400b'

vanguardngr Who are the cause?

vanguardngr Only you na 100bn then your son 50bn

vanguardngr Hmmm!!!! Who's the number one suspect

vanguardngr Really, Mr Buhari, really?! This is the next level of hypocrisy. Rubbish!!

vanguardngr This is coming from a man that treats headache in UK.Oga hasn't built a medical facility that will curb medical tourism, he's here telling us how much Nigeria loses to medical tourism.Good riddance to nonsense

vanguardngr On Whose Medical tourist do Nigeria loses this huge money Mr Buhari.

vanguardngr Chief medical tourist

vanguardngr And you alone probably spend N300bn out of that...

vanguardngr Yours included

vanguardngr This is laughable coming from Mr President

vanguardngr How much of that was contributed by you and your family sir?

vanguardngr And only you make up 70% of it ...you just a fool to speak about medical tourism

vanguardngr Of the N400bn, u made us loose N395bn.

vanguardngr 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

vanguardngr See who de talk

vanguardngr Are you not the one spearheading it. Its supposed to be your duty to revamp the health sector to save us billions annually but the reverse is now the case.

vanguardngr Look at the main culprit complaining. AsoRock clinic budgets billions but can't have panadol. Patients bring their supplies, including handgloves for caregivers.

vanguardngr Chief medical tourist lol

vanguardngr But sir u contributed half of dat money in UK last year

vanguardngr This next level govt doesn't think before talking. Mr president himself spent undisclosed million 💰 on medical tourism. Awon oloshi
