Covid-19: I am confident that our public health system is robust enough to deal with any situation if well resourced – Osinbajo

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has expressed confidence over Nigeria’s health system.

Speaking to delegates of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation when he hosted them at the Presidential Palace in Abuja, Osinbajo averred that if well resourced, the country’s health system can deal with any situation. He said this reacting to the way the country has been able to handle the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Clearly, we need to do a lot more. Perhaps, what needs to happen is increasing personnel in our public healthcare system, ramping up the numbers, so that we can achieve greater coverage and do a lot more,” he said.

“I am confident that our public health system is robust enough to deal with any situation so long as it is well resourced at the relevant times. We saw that with the response to COVID-19.

“So, it is really just ensuring that the system is well resourced and it works, and we will be able to deliver on those targets.”
