FG Remains Committed to Improved Healthcare Delivery – Osinbajo

By Fasilat Lawal

The government will continue to address factors militating against healthcare delivery in the country.

The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo made the affirmation during the inauguration of projects by the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.

Professor Osinbajo explained that there were still gaps in the nation’s health delivery system, which he attributed to the quality of care available, equipment, and facilities as well as the disparity between the health budget and expenditure.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs), Dr. Adejoke Oorelope Adefulire described the project inaugurated at UCH Ibadan as a testament to the Federal Government’s commitment to the health and well-being of Nigerians.

Earlier, the Chief Medical Director, UCH, Professor Jesse Otegbayo in an address of welcome, described the inauguration of the project as a landmark in the over sixty-five years of the medical institution’s existence.

Professor Otegbayo who said the projects represented a significant contribution from the federal government, expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs) Dr. Adejoke Oorelope Adefulire.

The UCH CMD, however, solicited the provision of more facilities and equipment from the Federal Government to further enhance the institution’s medical delivery.
