The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, has blamed the foundation of healthcare in the country for the deteriorating conditions of hospital facilities across the country.

The Senate had summoned Adewole to appear before it on Tuesday over what the Senate President Bukola Saraki called the poor state of infrastructure that has contributed to deaths of Nigerians in need of health care.

“We can describe the health care as a pyramid, with Primary Health Care at the base, Secondary at middle and Tertiary at the top.“For them to function effectively, they depend on functional primary and secondary health care centres. If these two levels of care are functional, about 90% of ailments will be taken care of.

“We have 22 teaching hospitals in the country and 17 specialist hospitals under the direct body of the Federal Government.“We can compare it to a building — primary health as the foundation, the secondary as the wall and the tertiary as the roof. “If we invest in the Primary Health Care, a lot of people would not have a cause to go to the Tertiary.
