President Bola Tinubu outlines health-sector reforms and reported achievements since assuming office, describing them as efforts to expand access to care, strengthen the health workforce, and improve health outcomes nationwide. According to the reports, Tinubu states that the administration’s program—implemented through the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare—includes revitalising primary healthcare facilities, expanding health insurance coverage, and upgrading specialist hospitals. He also points to immunisation campaigns that vaccinated large numbers of children, including measles-rubella, and to cervical cancer prevention through HPV vaccination.
The accounts also cite workforce and infrastructure measures, including training of frontline health workers, recruitment into federal tertiary hospitals, and delivery of health projects such as cancer centres. In addition, the Presidency releases a Nigeria Health Sector Impact Report that, it says, shows reductions in maternal and newborn mortality between 2023 and 2025, and reports numbers of government-funded free procedures including caesarean sections and vesico-vaginal fistula repairs.
The sources present Tinubu’s statements as part of a broader assessment of progress while noting that reforms are ongoing.
