bloomshorts Urgent Healthcare Reforms Needed in Nigeria
Samuel Ayetutu, Chairman of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Lagos Chapter, has emphasized the urgent need for healthcare sector reforms in Nigeria. This call to action comes in the aftermath of former President Buhari’s death in a London hospital, spotlighting the deficiencies in Nigeria’s health infrastructure.
A Moment for Reflection and Action
Ayetutu, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, urged Nigerians and policymakers to use this moment as a catalyst for critical reforms. He questioned why Nigeria cannot channel the same energy used to establish the Dangote Refineries into developing world-class hospitals and educational institutions.
The Dignity of National Self-Sufficiency
Highlighting the irony of Nigerians seeking services abroad, sometimes from their own compatriots, Ayetutu called for a national reevaluation of priorities to ensure dignity and self-sufficiency in healthcare and education.
