Diseases: Group urges Nigerian govt to implement comprehensive healthcare

The Nigerian government needs to implement a comprehensive health intervention that addresses all cases of communicable and noncommunicable diseases in the country, rather than focus on a selected few.

Mr Dakum said that a key objective of the conference was to ensure an increase in low uptake of health service outcomes in the country, in a collaboration with the public and private sector. “Non-communicable diseases are a concern and in this implementation science, we are looking at NCDs too and how to ensure that implementation is very apt.

Mr Ezeanolue said the $100 million which was used for the Nigerian HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey would be wasted if the persons said to be living with HIV are not identified and placed on prompt treatment. “Once you put someone who has HIV on treatment, you can actually stop that transmission from that person to another person and that is one of the ways we can use the Information we get from research into making an impact.“It is not about research; if you don’t use it to do something. Use the research to get the data, the information that helps us to actually make the impact.
