Health advocates under the aegis of the National Advocates for Health (NA4H) have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to increase the health budget and ensure timely releases in 2018.
The group made the call in a statement by its chairman, Professor Dapo Ladipo after a symposium tagged ‘framing for advocacy and accountability for effective implementation of 2018 National Health Budget, Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) and Global Financing Facility (GFF)’ in Abuja.
They enjoined President Buhari to submit a supplementary health budget to the National Assembly in order to raise its percentage to at least 7.5% this year and to also raise the budget by 1% percent increase in subsequent years.
