There is need to ensure quality and adequate healthcare for the vulnerable, especially in rural communities. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund , Nigeria Chief of Health, Eduardo Celades spoke to IJEOMA THOMAS-ODIA on the organisation’s interventions to improve upon the services of primary healthcare centres across the nation.
Nigeria is one of the most complex nations in the world in terms of the public health issues that it is facing. It has the second highest number of unvaccinated children in the world. It is also a nation with a high maternal mortality. Last year, we had the biggest outbreak of Measles in the world. It is a country with extremely weak health systems, so we are trying to think from different angles.
The analysis from the data tells us that Nigeria is progressing towards the SDG 3. However, this progress is insufficient to reach the targets. The country has been able to go through the COVID-19 pandemic and still progress. For example, we saw how routine immunisation coverage increased. Very few countries managed to pull it off and Nigeria did it.
