The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has proposed a five-year strategic plan focusing on improving healthcare delivery across the country.
The NMA President, Professor Mike Ogirima, made the appeal yesterday in Abuja, at a conference to present a draft copy of the strategic plan to stakeholders in the sector.
Professor Ogirima noted that the strategic plan, which pushes for the operationalisation of the 2014 National Health Act, if implemented would help to reduce the burden of diseases among rural dwellers in Nigeria.
The Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Health, Mohammed Usman, admitted the failure of government to implement some policies targeted at improving the healthcare system.
On the sideline of the event, Chairman of the National Immunisation Financing Task Team, Ben Anyenele, urged the NMA to harness its potentials and save the health sector.
