Unlocking Nigeria’s healthcare value chain will contribute to creating decent and quality jobs for the Nigerian youth towards delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President .
We are leveraging smart partnerships to strike reasonable balance in the size, composition and distribution of the health care workforce. This includes retraining frontline health workforce at the primary care level, particularly empowering female health workers at the frontlines who are more than 2/3 of the total workforce.
Equally, we are determined to effect a managed migration policy as a means to address human resource challenges in a progressive way. This is in addition to the focus on scaling up healthcare infrastructure and equipment in our facilities for enhanced delivery.
Today, we met with Reeta Roy, , President and CEO, Mastercard Foundation and her team. We exchanged insights and explored tangible next steps in our ongoing collaboration with the Foundation.
We were elated when, during subsequent visit to HE President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, Reeta shared the ambitious goal of the Mastercard Foundation to enable 10 million Nigerian young people to gain dignified employment over the next several years, of which health and social welfare sector will be a key pillar.
Thank you, Reeta, and team, for your genuine interest to accelerate and deepen the important work of MasterCard Foundation in Nigeria.
