On April 7, annually, the day is observed in order to raise awareness about global health issues and highlight the importance of well-being. Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the first Lady of Nigeria has commended the Nigerian health workers on their dedication and commitment to work in relation to various health challenges the country had faced in the past and presently, as she aslo urged the Government to do more on delivery quality health services to its citizenry.
In a statement made available by Busola kukoyi SSA Media to the first Lady, “Today, as we observe World Health Day, the theme “Health for All: Health Equity” resonates deeply. It reminds us that healthcare delivery is not a privilege but a fundamental human right.”
“While significant progress has been made in the healthcare sector in Nigeria, the gap in health equity remains a critical challenge and we must collectively rise up to the occasion. We live in a world where access to quality healthcare delivery service varies due to socio-economic diversities, creating disparities in health outcomes.”
“I commend all our healthcare workers for their dedication and commitment to service.”
“Nigeria has weathered so many storms, from Ebola to Covid and yet, we are still here, due to the dedication and commitment of our healthcare workers. I commend you and say a big thank you to you all.”
The wife of the President uses the opportunity of today to call on all well meaning Nigerians, organizations and bodies, to help remove all barriers to actualizing health for all in Nigeria.
