Posted on: Fri 30-06-2017

The Federal Govern­ment has reiterated its commitment to promoting quality health service delivery at the grass root levels.
 
The Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewale, gave the assurance at the opening ceremony of Hospital Laboratory In­ternational Fair, in Abuja, on Thursday.
 
He said that the Presi­dent Muhammadu Bu­hari-led government was engaging relevant stake­holders to ensure that more attention was given to health issues of all Ni­gerians in order to put to an end the nagging issue of medical tourism in the country.
 
Represented by a Di­rector in the Ministry, Dr O J Amodumni , the Minister emphasised the need for experts and other stakeholders to see health matters as a concern of all, and not the government alone.
 
He applauded organis­ers of the fair and assured them of the Ministry’s readiness to work with partners that could con­tribute positively in build­ing standard health sector.
 
Highlighting the sig­nificance of the fair, its organiser and Chief Ex­ecutive Officer, Xavier Communications Lim­ited, Nick Hayes, said the event was aimed at providing a platform for manufacturers and deal­ers in hospital equipment to show case quality prod­ucts.
