She emphasized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to exploring local vaccine and medicine production to enhance the health sector’s self-sufficiency.

 

Dr. Anas also shared the President’s vision for a sustainable healthcare future in Nigeria and the entire West Africa. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to exploring local vaccine and medicine production is unwavering.

 

It’s a key step toward enhancing self-sufficiency in the health sector and securing a healthier future for our nation. We are dedicated to ensuring that every Nigerian has access to quality healthcare.”

 

Having played a pivotal role in policy formulation, strategic development, and resource mobilization for healthcare programs, she extended her heartfelt appreciation to the HFN for organizing this forum, enabling healthcare stakeholders in Nigeria to brainstorm on ways to bring about positive change in the nation’s health sector.

 

Also, during his keynote remarks, Prof. Akin Abayomi, Lagos State Commissioner for Health, highlighted the importance of public-private partnerships, underscoring HFN’s critical role in bridging the gap between the government and the private sector.

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.
