The President of the Senate, Sen. Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday, said Senate would implement the 2014 National Health Act, especially the one per cent consolidated fund to enhance funding of Nigeria’s health system in 2018.
Saraki made the disclosure at the commemoration of 2017 World AIDS Day in Abuja.
Represented at the occasion by Sen. Mao Ohuabunwa, Senate Committee Chairman on Primary Health Care and infectious Diseases, Saraki said that the Act was signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said “it stipulates that one per cent of consolidated fund be set aside for health care provision.”
