Dr. Salma Ibrahim Anas, the Special Adviser to the President on Health, stated that Tinubu renewed health agenda will transform the way healthcare is delivered in Nigeria. She said this while speaking at a workshop by the Rotary Action Group for Reproductive, Maternal and Child Health in Abuja.
According to Dr. Anas, Tinubu’s plan aligns with the government’s vision of creating a better and safer country for women and children. She said the government is focused on ending the sad stories of women dying during childbirth.
Tinubu Focuses on Mothers and Children
Dr. Anas said Tinubu’s government is working hard to stop deaths caused by pregnancy and childbirth. The plan includes better primary healthcare centers, more health workers, and teamwork with private and international groups.
She asked all groups, communities, and individuals to join the government’s efforts and praised Rotary International for helping expand health programs to 14 states in Nigeria. She said this kind of support shows how teamwork can save more lives.
Tinubu Pushes for Stronger Primary Healthcare
Tinubu’s health plan is also about improving local health systems. Dr. Anas explained that the government is giving more power to local areas so that healthcare can reach everyone.
She said communities should take part in healthcare decisions. Most women and children who need care live in rural places, so it is important to bring help close to them.
Tinubu’s Plan to Tackle Challenges
Dr. Anas also talked about problems like lack of funds, insecurity, and cultural beliefs that stop some women from going to hospitals. She said Tinubu’s government is finding new ways to solve these issues.
She added that the government is partnering with the private sector to make more life-saving drugs in Nigeria, like oxytocin, so they can be cheaper and easier to find.
Rotary’s Role in Tinubu’s Health Vision
Professor Adedolapo Emmanuel Lufadeju, the leader of the Rotary Action Group for Reproductive, Maternal, and Child Health, said the group’s project, “Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria,” is growing fast.
He said it started in four places — Nasarawa, Gombe, Ekiti, and the FCT — and now it will reach all six zones in Nigeria. The goal is to make sure women get care before, during, and after giving birth.
The project also uses community talks, medical outreaches, and home visits to reach people in hard-to-access areas. They also collect data to find out why women and children die and how to stop it.
Tinubu Promises a Better Future
Dr. Anas said Tinubu’s health agenda is not just a plan but a promise. She said it will bring fairness, better care, and stronger health systems for all Nigerians.
The president wants to make healthcare easy to reach, affordable, and available to everyone — especially mothers and children.
Conclusion
