Representing PharmAccess, PharmAccess Nigeria Country Director, Njide Ndili who is also the Vice President of the Healthcare Federation of Nigeria moderated the first panel session on the concept of Public-Private Integration and ways it can be achieved and sustained to ensure progression of the Nigerian healthcare sector. She highlighted that without Public Private Integration, the goal of Universal Health coverage cannot be achieved. “Without Public-Private Integration, the goal of Universal Health Coverage cannot be achieved. We can ensure that healthcare reaches every corner of our nation, leaving no one underserved.”

 

Additionally, Mrs. Ndili enjoined panelists to share their experiences within the healthcare industry, particularly regarding the integration of public and private sectors and the strategies for its sustained advancement within the Nigerian healthcare sector. One notable illustration of a progressive Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative, highlighted by Deputy Managing Director at the Society for Family Health, Dr. Jennifer Anyanti, is the “Access to Finance (A2F)” program, championed by PharmAccess and the Delta State Contributory Health Commission (DSCHC). This innovative program was crafted to provide financing, operational expertise, and transfer of public-private partnership arrangements, rejuvenating neglected healthcare facilities in remote and underserved communities in Delta State. Dr. Anyanti stated, “Thanks to our fruitful Public-Private partnership with PharmAccess and the Delta State Contributory Healthcare Commission, we have achieved a renaissance in healthcare facilities within marginalized regions. This has translated into remarkable outcomes, including a surge in patient enrollment, the elimination of maternal mortality, and a substantial enhancement in child survival rates.”

 

Other presentations were held at the conference, with a particular focus on topics such as Innovation across Africa, fostering a conducive environment for thriving in West Africa, and the pursuit of Universal Health Coverage. PharmAccess upholds its unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare outcomes throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Events like the HFN HealthCare Leadership Conference exemplify PharmAccess’ role as thought leaders and catalysts for positive change. They continue to champion the cause, driving the transformation of Nigeria’s healthcare landscape towards a more sustainable future.

PharmAccess is an international not-for-profit organization established in 2001 that operates in Africa, pioneering digital innovative approaches to strengthen the healthcare sector. Its goal is to improve access to quality healthcare, especially for low-income groups.
