Only Public-Private Partnership Can Rescue Nigeria’s Health Sector, Says Minister


Posted on: Mon 30-11-2015

The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole , has stated that the country would have to involve corporate organizations and private individuals for the much-needed rebirth to be attainable in the country’s health sector.
 
He hinted that the country  would have to partner with interested private and corporate  business owners as well as philanthropists in the society for the country to be turned into a huge and dependable  health tourism destination like India and other advanced climes.
 
The minister  said this measure became imperative to give Nigerians quality  healthcare delivery through improved facilities and to discourage rich Nigerians from travelling abroad  for medical treatment.
 
Adewole spoke in Ikere Ekiti on Saturday during the commissioning of ’ Iyaafin  Bosede Olanipekun Special Amenity Ward’ donated  by Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) for Ikere Specialists Hospital.
