This was made known via a press statement on Sunday 7 April, 2024 which was World Health Day 2024.
World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), and other related organizations.
The Press Statement (@FMINONigeria):
World Health Day
Theme: Health for All: Health Equity
April 7
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 to the occasion. We live in a world where access to quality healthcare delivery services 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.
I use this 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.
Happy World Health Day.
God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON
First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
