The World Health Organisation, WHO, has advised Nigeria to intensify efforts toward achieving Universal Health Coverage, UHC, following a poor rating in key health performance indices.
Speaking at the annual general meeting and scientific conference of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) FCT chapter on Wednesday, WHO Nigeria health economist, Francis Ukwuije, emphasised that Nigeria should be achieving better outcomes in maternal health.
Mr Ukwuije noted that improvements are also expected in disease control and healthcare access, given the country’s population size and the level of government health expenditure.
