@datamaxreg What is the essence of sending you mails and enquires when you NEVER REPLY! This is very, very, very poor! What is the essence of paying and joining you when you dont respond to simple enquiries!

PRESS STATEMENT
Abuja, Nigeria | 24 June, 2025

NIGERIA’S HEALTH RENAISSANCE DEEPENS WITH BRAZIL PACT ON DRUGS, DATA & DOCTORS”

FG Advances Strategic Reforms through Bold International Collaboration

The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken a bold step forward in its health sector transformation agenda with the deepening of bilateral ties between Nigeria and Brazil, focusing on strategic collaboration in pharmaceutical production, digital health innovation, and medical workforce development.

Speaking at the 2nd Session of the Nigeria-Brazil Strategic Dialogue Mechanism held today at the State House Conference Center, Abuja, the Honourable Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, emphasized that the evolving partnership between both nations marks a new era in Nigeria’s health diplomacy, anchored in the priorities of universal health coverage, medicine security, and health system strengthening.

“This partnership is a powerful affirmation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which is driving an ambitious Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative focused on expanding access, enhancing equity, and modernizing healthcare delivery in Nigeria,” Dr. Salako stated.

Among the priority areas of collaboration outlined are:
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Nigeria will work with leading Brazilian pharmaceutical companies to scale up local drug and vaccine production, drawing lessons from Brazil’s successful Generic Drug Act and global leadership in biomedicine.

• Digital Health & Data Systems: With Brazil’s strong track record in health information systems and surveillance, both countries will cooperate to strengthen Nigeria’s digital backbone for public health delivery and disease tracking.

• Medical Education & Workforce Exchange: The pact proposes structured exchange programmes for Nigerian doctors, nurses, and public health professionals to receive advanced training in Brazil’s family health and primary care systems.

The partnership also includes plans to pilot Brazil’s Family Health Teams model in select Nigerian communities as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s quest to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage (UHC). Nigeria is also proposing a dedicated Health Working Group and a Five-Year Joint Action Plan to operationalize commitments across disease prevention, research collaboration, and vaccine development.

Dr. Salako spotlighted recent wins in Nigeria’s health sector as a strong foundation for this collaboration, including:

• Revitalization of primary healthcare reaching over 37 million Nigerians;

• Expansion of health insurance by 15% in one year through innovative schemes;

• Establishment of 12 new tertiary health institutions and over 500 high-impact projects across 61 federal hospitals;

• First-ever WHO prequalification of Nigerian-made medicines in West and Central Africa.

He also praised initiatives like the NASENI-TromentBiotechnology Factory and the upcoming Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) factory as evidence of Nigeria’s seriousness in unlocking its health value chain.

“This is more than cooperation it is a strategic alliance for shared progress. Nigeria stands ready to learn from Brazil’s experience and to create a partnership that delivers real outcomes for our citizens,” he said.
As Nigeria continues to prioritize health security, local manufacturing, and data-driven service delivery, the Ministry affirmed its commitment to ensuring that this partnership with Brazil becomes a model of South-South collaboration —impactful, sustainable, and people-centered.

As you prepare to leave service after 8 glorious years ( 2 terms), we will not stop celebrating you and your achievements as Medical Director. We will speak of your example in governance & leadership, the reforms you implemented for better finance & resource management, your exemplary application of health information systems & technology tools to achieve efficiency and better patient experience; the improvements in quality of service and operations resulting in an exponential increase in overall service delivery at your FMC, and finally, your workforce management skills that kept staff motivated and engaged which is why I am not surprised to see the attached banner is signed by all the health professional associations.

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE TO THE FAMILY OF LATE DR. ALIMI MUSTAPHA

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.

On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and Nigeria’s medical community, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the management and staff of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, as well as to the family, friends, and colleagues of our late brother, Dr. Alimi Mustapha, on his sudden and painful passing.

Dr. Alimi was a dedicated physician whose quiet devotion and skilled hands brought healing and hope to many. His professional journey was defined by purpose, humility, and compassion—virtues that embody the essence of true service.

His passing is an immense loss to the Nigerian Orthopaedic Association and the broader healthcare community. Yet, even in this moment of grief, we find solace in knowing that those who serve with sincerity and dedication leave an indelible mark—not just in the lives they touch but in the higher realms where every act of care is recorded.

As we mourn his departure, we pray that the Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, grants him Jannatul Firdous and comforts his loved ones. May his family, colleagues, and all who knew him find strength in faith and in the lasting legacy of kindness he leaves behind.

Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences.

Coordinating Minister, Health and Social Welfare

@YOLICOM6 Our mandate is the health of all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe or religion. We have never and would never undermine the policies of the FG in recruitment. All the recruitments done since we've been here have been granted certificates of compliance. We obey the law always.

[Damola @dadajuwon]

@YOLICOM6 There are recruitment rules & policies in place that ensures that a FG agency is not dominated by any one region. Indeed, in the case of junior workers, catchment areas of the institution is a key consideration. Same policy ensures even and just distribution in the senior cadre.

[Damola @dadajuwon]

@YOLICOM6 This is definitely not true! Our recruitment is done by us but moderated by the Federal Character Commission to ensure fairness to all. We recruit workers from all parts of Nigeria without any discrimination, and we have all tribes happily working and serving our patients. Thanks

Tuesday 14th January, 2025 marked the commencement of official familiarization tour of agencies of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare being supervised by the Minister of State.

The tour started from the Nigeria Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) to the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi-Abuja and ended at the Nigeria Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT).

NIPRD will be re-positioned to repeat the feat achieved years ago when a herbal formulary developed by the agency became a drug of choice in the management of sickle cell disease and is now being prescribed in over 40 countries.

NICRAT will work to put emphasis on cancer prevention and expand the cancer care fund to cover more cancers and more cancer centres.

The FMC, Jabi-Abuja is becoming a major player in providing top notch tertiary healthcare services to Nigerians and supporting the agenda of @officialABAT to reverse the direction of medical tourism.

These are my vision for these agencies and the direction we hope to navigate towards.

@woye1 FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE EBUTE-METTA in LAGOS)is running the highly subsidised renal dialysis program sponsored by the FGN. It's available, but it's first come, first served but emergencies are prioritised. Expectedly, the demand is increasing, but we are working hard at it!
