'Every Nigerian deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of where they live or what they earn.'

  • President Bola Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has boasted of the significant achievements of his administration in Nigeria's health sector. According to him, his administration has embarked on one of the most ambitious healthcare reforms in decades. The reforms are aimed at saving lives while building a stronger and more resilient healthcare system for future generations.

The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has been at the forefront of this effort. According to President Tinubu, the ministry has revitalized 4,161 primary healthcare centers across the country, with 3,158 already completed. This is a significant milestone in the administration's efforts to improve healthcare access and quality in Nigeria.

But that's not all. The administration has also expanded health insurance coverage to millions of Nigerians. More than six million people have been added to health insurance in the past few years. This means that more Nigerians have access to quality healthcare, regardless of their income level.

Vaccination is another area where the administration has made significant progress. More than 102 million children have been vaccinated against measles-rubella, while 17 million adolescent girls have been protected against cervical cancer through the HPV vaccine. These are impressive numbers that demonstrate the administration's commitment to improving healthcare outcomes in Nigeria.

So what does this mean for Nigerians? It means that they have better access to quality healthcare, regardless of where they live or what they earn. It means that they have a higher chance of staying healthy and living longer. And it means that the country is becoming a more prosperous and resilient nation.

The administration's healthcare reforms are not just about saving lives; they are also about building a stronger and more resilient healthcare system for future generations. This is a key part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to transform Nigeria into a more prosperous and resilient nation.

According to the Presidency, the Nigeria Health Sector Impact Report highlights some of the major milestones recorded so far under the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative. The report notes that maternal mortality has reduced by 17 percent in 2025 compared to 2023, while newborn mortality has reduced by 10 percent over the same period.

The report also notes that more than 40,000 women have received free Caesarean sections reimbursed through the National Health Insurance Authority between 2024 and 2026. Additionally, more than 4,000 women have received free Vesico-Vaginal Fistula repairs through Federal Government support.

These are impressive numbers that demonstrate the administration's commitment to improving healthcare outcomes in Nigeria. They also demonstrate the progress being made in revitalizing primary healthcare centers, expanding health insurance coverage, and vaccinating millions of children.

The administration's healthcare reforms are not just about achieving short-term gains; they are also about building a stronger and more resilient healthcare system for future generations. This is a key part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to transform Nigeria into a more prosperous and resilient nation.
