The North East like much of Nigeria, he regretted, still has unacceptably poor health induces which calls for strong collaboration rather than fragmentation of efforts at national and Subnational levels.

The minister said” the Nigerian Health Sector Renewal Investment Programme which encapsulates our strategic vision for the sector” was geared towards cohesive common goal to save lives, reduce both physical and financial pains and produce health for all Nigerians.”

In his opening remarks, the executive governor of Borno state, Prof Baba Gana Umara Zulum called on the World Health Organisation (WHO) to fulfill its promises to state as regards  enhanced TB reduction and management, provision of DNA Machines for Gender Based Violence management,  construction of hospitals in Biu and Munguno LGAs.

Zulum noted that “these promises were not mere expression of goodwill, they represented lifelines for our people, for mothers delivering children, for victims of unimaginable violence and for entire communities struggling against diseases”.
