He opined that addressing healthcare challenges and prioritizing quality care, Nigeria and Africa can improve health outcomes, drive economic growth, and enhance social stability.

The businessman who is marking his birth anniversary with financial support that runs into millions of naira, added that he is destined to be a philanthropist and has never regretted empowering people across Africa.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, faces significant challenges in providing healthcare access to its citizens. Despite progress made, many Nigerians struggle to receive quality healthcare services.

Statistics from World Health Organizations (WHO) and Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS) stated that Nigeria has only 0.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the WHO recommended 2.5 beds and that the country has a ratio of 1 doctor to 2,500 patients, far below the WHO recommended 1:400.

Rural areas also lack access to healthcare facilities, with 70% of healthcare services concentrated in urban centers, while out-of-pocket payments account for 70% of healthcare expenditures, making healthcare unaffordable for many among others.
