As part of preparations for Nigeria’s first integrated Tuberculosis (TB), School-Based Insecticide-Treated Net (ITN) Distribution, and Mass ITN Distribution Campaign, the Society for Family Health (SFH), alongside the Osun State Malaria Elimination Programme (SMEP), led a series of high-level advocacy engagements across Osun State on 2 June 2026. The delegation engaged key decision-makers including the Honourable Commissioner for Health, the Ooni’s Palace, the Wife of the Governor, and the Executive Governor of Osun State to strengthen political ownership, mobilise community support, and secure commitments for the successful implementation of the pioneering campaign. The engagements brought together representatives of the Global Fund, National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), Roll Back Malaria Partnership, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), BASF, and other stakeholders united around a shared goal of accelerating malaria elimination through integrated service delivery.
The advocacy yielded tangible commitments from each stakeholder. The Honourable Commissioner for Health reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to ensuring the successful implementation of the campaign and sustaining Osun’s leadership in integrated health programming. At the Ooni’s Palace, Her Regal Majesty, wife of the Ooni of Ife and Regional ITN Ambassador for South-West Nigeria, pledged to intensify community sensitisation efforts and leverage her influence to promote consistent use of treated nets across communities. Similarly, the Wife of the Governor and Osun State Net Ambassador, Chief Mrs. Titilayo Adeleke, committed to sustaining her advocacy on malaria prevention and supporting mobilisation efforts for the 2026 ITN Mass Distribution Campaign, particularly among women and families.
The engagement culminated in a strategic meeting with Governor Ademola Adeleke, where discussions focused on state ownership and sustainable financing for integrated health interventions. The Governor commended SFH and partners for their contributions to malaria control and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting the successful implementation of the integrated campaign while strengthening partnerships that improve health outcomes across the state. This endorsement from the highest level of government reinforces the state’s readiness to champion innovative, integrated approaches to public health delivery.
Beyond securing commitments, the engagement demonstrated SFH’s ability to convene influential government leaders, traditional institutions, development partners, and community champions around a common health agenda. By securing broad-based political support, strengthening advocacy champions, and positioning Osun as the pilot state for this groundbreaking integrated campaign, SFH and its partners have created a strong foundation for successful implementation and future collaboration. The outcomes further position SFH as a trusted strategic partner to government and communities, opening new opportunities to drive integrated, sustainable health interventions across Osun State and beyond. #malaria
Society for Family Health (SFH) Group is participating in the 3rd edition of the Pharma West Africa Conference and Exhibition, from 14 to 16 April 2026 at the Landmark Centre.
The SFH delegation was led by Group Chief Executive Officer, Dr Omokhudu Idogho, alongside the Managing Director of @SFHAccess , Pharm Dennis Aizobu. Their participation highlighted SFH’s commitment to strengthening pharmaceutical systems and expanding access to quality healthcare across West Africa.
The conference convened key stakeholders to address vulnerabilities in the region’s supply chain and explore pathways to self-sufficiency. In his remarks, Conference Chairman and SFH Board Member, Pharm Ahmed I. Yakasai, emphasised the need for courage, collaboration, and commitment to drive actionable solutions, particularly through innovation and digital transformation.
SFH contributed to the programme through both thought leadership and exhibition. Pharm Dennis Aizobu participated in a panel session on digital transformation, highlighting the role of e-pharmacy, medication delivery platforms, and teleconsultation in improving access, efficiency, and transparency in healthcare delivery.
At the exhibition, SFH showcased a range of its health products and interventions, engaging partners and demonstrating its market-based approach to improving health outcomes.
Discussions at the conference underscored the need to transition from donor-driven systems to domestically financed healthcare markets. Speakers highlighted that sustainable pharmaceutical systems depend on integrated financing across patients, providers, and manufacturers, rather than isolated interventions.
SFH’s participation reinforces its leadership in advancing innovative, sustainable solutions that improve access to essential medicines and strengthen health systems across the region.
May his sacrifice on the cross fill you with gratitude and peace.
Let us pause, reflect, and give thanks for the grace of this day. #Goodfriday#sacrifice#happyholiday

At the 2026 Annual Conference of the Healthcare Federation of Nigeria, the Society for Family Health (SFH) Group played an active role in shaping conversations on health financing, emergency response systems, and digital innovation for stronger healthcare delivery.
Through thought leadership, panel discussions, sideline conversations and innovation showcases, the conference highlighted the strength of the SFH ecosystem and its commitment to practical solutions that expand access to quality care.
Beyond the event itself, the real impact lies in the partnerships built, ideas exchanged, and opportunities created to scale solutions that support Nigeria’s journey toward Universal Health Coverage. #HFN2026 #SFH #HealthInnovation #UHC
Happy Birthday to our Board President, Prof. Ekanem Ikpi Braide. Your dedication to science and education continues to inspire generations.
From all of us at @SFHNigeria, we wish you good health, peace, and many more years of impact and fulfillment.
SFH’s operational footprint was also visible on the exhibition floor, where SFH ACCESS, led by Managing Director Dennis Aizobu, showcased accesscare, coelevate, logistics systems, and integrated service delivery solutions designed to scale healthcare access. As Head of the Exhibition Sub-Committee, Aizobu led dignitaries through the exhibition, demonstrating how innovation, when paired with disciplined execution, can expand coverage while maintaining quality.
Another major highlight was the launch of the Nigeria Private Health Sector Market Outlook, unveiled on behalf of Iziaq Kunle Salako, Honourable Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare. Represented by Saheed Ogunme of the Federal Medical Centre Ebute Metta, the report emphasised blended and impact financing, stronger public–private partnerships, and investment in local pharmaceutical production to reduce out-of-pocket spending.
Reinforcing the urgency of reform, Akin Abayomi, Commissioner for Health in Lagos State, noted that Lagos requires over 30,000 doctors but currently has about 7,000, highlighting workforce shortages and infrastructure gaps. He outlined ongoing reforms including expansion of the Ilera Eko Health Insurance Scheme, digital health platforms, and new medical training institutions aimed at reversing brain drain and strengthening healthcare delivery.
Across the conference, SFH’s presence translated the conference ambition into practical pathways, from health financing reforms to emergency response systems and digital health innovation. As Nigeria advances toward Universal Health Coverage, SFH’s leadership underscored that transforming healthcare will depend not only on policy dialogue but on institutions ready to design, finance, and implement solutions at scale.

A 40% surge in membership within a single year has positioned the Healthcare Federation of Nigeria (HFN) as a growing force in Nigeria’s health sector, signalling that private-sector actors are ready to play a greater role in shaping sustainable healthcare solutions. This momentum framed the HFN Annual Conference 2026, themed “Transforming Healthcare: Leveraging Private Sector Innovation to Achieve Quality Outcomes and UHC,” where the Society for Family Health (SFH) a leading “Health Guardian” joined conversations from policy to practical action.
“No one can do this alone,” said Dr Omokhudu Idogho, SFH Group CEO, echoing the conference’s call for stronger partnerships as HFN President Njide Ndili urged stakeholders to move beyond isolated efforts toward strategic investment and collective action to deliver measurable health outcomes.
Speaking during the high-level panel on “From Tax to Treatment: Domestic Resource Mobilisation & Tax Reforms for UHC,” Dr Idogho shifted the conversation from rhetoric to structure, presenting a 4S Framework, Size, Share, Sensitivity, and Scrutiny as a pathway to strengthen domestic health financing. Moderated by Vivianne Ihekweazu, Managing Director of Nigeria Health Watch, the session highlighted the need to move from paying for inputs to paying for outcomes, link health-related taxes to measurable impact, and build public trust through transparent accountability systems. Dr Idogho stressed that citizens must see how public revenues translate into improved care if trust in the health system is to grow.
SFH’s leadership extended beyond financing reform. Dr Jennifer Anyanti, Group Director SFH IPH and HFN Second Vice President, moderated the strategic panel on “Building a National Emergency Medical Response System: Frameworks, Gaps, and Scalable Solutions,” guiding discussions on coordination gaps, workforce capacity, and technology-driven response systems. Panelists emphasised that effective emergency systems require unified communication platforms, stronger public–private partnerships, and data-driven deployment of resources to improve response times and save lives.
Community Pharmacists (CPs) and Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs) play a critical role as the first point of care for millions of Nigerians.
Join this conversation which will explore their evolving role within Nigeria’s health system, focusing on regulation, quality assurance, and strategies for expanding equitable access to safe, affordable health services.
