Health: No budget for programme revitalisation, says ex-minister

The immediate past Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, has said there was no particular budget for the revitalisation of 10,000 primary healthcare centres across the country.

The Federal Government had, in 2017, begun the National Primary Healthcare Revitalisation Initiative with the aim of resuscitating over 10,000 health centres across the country. The agency added, “So far, N5.8bn has been released to the NPHCDA and the funds have been disbursed to 15 states. They are Niger, Abia, Osun, Kaduna, Kano, Delta, Anambra, Edo, Nasarawa, Ebonyi, Benue, Adamawa, Kwara, Plateau, Bayelsa and the FCT.

Further analysis shows that the balance of N6.7bn is allocated for recurrent expenditure. This is about 10.64 per cent of the total amount.
