First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has said realizing the Nigeria’s goal of Universal Health Coverage needs the efforts and partnership of the Private Sector and the full activation of Health Insurance.
She stated this while commissioning the Diamed Health Center, in Lekki Lagos State.
Mrs. Tinubu noted that such state-of-the-art facility resonates with the four-point healthcare agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“I have also been informed that this Center occupies a strategic position in the four-point agenda of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare which are, I. improving governance and leadership; ii. Improving population health outcomes; iii. Medical industralisation/unlocking value chains; and iv. Health Security”, she said.
The First Lady noted that the commissioning was critical as advanced imaging and proper diagnosis is the bedrock of quality health care.
“As we look to the future, collaborations across sectors and borders are necessary to drive innovation, share knowledge, and improve patient outcomes. Diamed center exemplifies what can be achieved when we work together-the government, the private sector, and dedicated healthcare professionals.
“This dream cannot be attained without engaging the private sector and the full activation of health insurance. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) stand at the forefront of these transformative efforts, merging resources and expertise to elevate care standards”, she stated.
