BUILDING A RESILIENT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR NIGERIA
The U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) could impact Nigeria’s health sector by reducing funding, expertise, and technical assistance for critical health programs. To mitigate these effects and create a sustainable and resilient health system, Nigeria must focus on strengthening its domestic healthcare infrastructure and capacity. Below are viable suggestions to enhance Nigeria’s health sector:
- Increase Domestic Health Spending by prioritizing healthcare in national budgets and exploring public-private partnerships.
- Strengthen Primary Healthcare Systems by revitalizing primary healthcare centers and expanding community health worker programs.
- Invest in Health Workforce Development through increased training and retention of healthcare professionals.
- Leverage Technology to improve access to healthcare through e-health platforms, telemedicine, and data-driven decision-making.
- Strengthen Public Health Infrastructure by building new healthcare facilities, maintaining existing ones, and improving sanitation and clean water access.
- Focus on Preventative Healthcare and health education to reduce the burden on the healthcare system.
- Strengthen Regional Partnerships with African nations and regional organizations for shared resources and knowledge.
- Promote Domestic Pharmaceutical Production and improve supply chain management to reduce reliance on imports.
- Advocate for Global Solidarity and diversify partnerships with international and regional organizations to maintain access to global health support.
