Nigeria Presidency Warns of Donor Fatigue in Health Programs

The Presidency in Nigeria, through special adviser Dr. Salma Ana, warns of donor fatigue affecting crucial health programs, jeopardizing the country's path to universal health coverage.

Dr. Ana emphasized the need for Nigeria to take ownership of its health system and increase domestic resource mobilization.

She highlighted the importance of media collaboration in promoting sustainable healthcare policies and funding priorities. The decline in foreign grants, particularly in HIV, immunization, and maternal health programs, poses a significant risk to the country's healthcare system.

Nigeria is urged to strengthen its capacity for independent financing to ensure quality healthcare for its citizens.
