The federal government has stated that it continues to pay greater attention to the health sector, explaining that budgetary allocation to the sector recorded a 123.6 per cent rise from N305.06 billion in 2016 to N682.13 billion in 2021.
According to Akabueze, particularly after the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, health funding increased by 75.32 per cent over 2020 and 2021 and further by 40.96 per cent in the proposed 2022 budget. The DG Budget pointed out that while the federal government has continued to increase allocations to health, it was imperative to ensure that the funds are efficiently applied.
Agbaoye observed that the world is constantly under threat of emerging and re-emerging diseases, adding that diseases do not respect borders, and that faster travel allows for infectious diseases to spread around the world in hours.
