President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of the national health fellows programme as part of measures to improve service delivery at the grassroots.
In a statement on Monday, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential
spokesperson, said the programme will engage young Nigerians in all the 774
LGAs to monitor and track primary healthcare centre development and
performance.
“The well-trained fellows will serve as fiduciary agents to
monitor and track Primary Healthcare Centre development and performance, which
is to be assiduously measured against all financial inflows to the centres
nationwide,” the statement reads.
“The fellowship programme will be domiciled in the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) coordination office under the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
“The fellows will be
recruited, renumerated, and equipped with appropriate tools to track the
performance of Basic Health Care Provision Fund-supported health facilities
nationwide.
President Tinubu, who is the African Union Champion for
Human Resources in Healthcare, places faith in young Nigerians and expects that
their engagement in this critical nation-building task, which also includes a
daily monitoring and tracking of health reforms in their locations, will usher
in a new era of world-class service provision to all Nigerians in every part of
the country.”
On December 12, 2023, the president announced plans for a
comprehensive revamp of physical infrastructure, equipment, and the re-training
of frontline health workers, starting in 2024
