The Federal Government on Saturday said it had met with health associations to end the incessant strikes and rancour in the health sector.

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof Ali Pate, disclosed at a press briefing on the ministry’s agenda for the health sector.

“The human resource is the most important ingredient for producing health. We have met with stakeholders and we will work as a team and work better. The quality of what they deliver has to improve and hopefully, those who have gone away can begin to find their way back home. We will do more with our colleagues in the education ministry, the state government, and the private sector to expand the production of the health workforce that we are losing.

He stressed that the ministry had met with all the health workers associations. He added, “Some of the issues have been resolved while we were discussing with them because they have to do with the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, and some the Civil Service role, not necessarily the Ministry of Health The health workers will acknowledge that we should move to the phase where issues are less.

He added, “We need to begin to make sure that the data we collect are accurate, and they are validated, they can be trusted, internationally and locally. Those data will be used to deliver care to our people. Once you have validated data that you can trust, you can begin to see the indices where you are getting better, where you are doing well, and where you are not doing well. Then you can recheck your interventions to improve those outcomes.
