“A thorough assessment and audit of the BHCPF has revealed major flaws in Programmatic, operational and fiduciary aspects of BHCPF implementation, warranting major reforms and redesign.

“All the 36 states and the FCT have demonstrated commitment to rectify these flaws by signing up a remediation plan with the Federal Ministry of Health and committing to implement corrective measures immediately. All entities are currently working to implement recommendations,” the minister said.

He said the redesign of the BHCPF, when fully implemented, will ensure better alignment of resources towards improving the country ‘s health outcomes of saving lives and producing health.

“These outcomes include, but are not limited to improved antenatal coverage, increased skilled-birth attendance, reduced stunting & wasting, reduced adolescent birth rate, reduced number of zero-dose children, increase penta3 coverage, increased percentage of children 0-12 months fully immunised and increase health insurance coverage,” said Pate.
