Federal Government launches two critical documents to enhance quality of health and standards in healthcare services in Nigeria.
The documents were Assessment Check-list for Federal Tertiary Hospitals and National Surgical, Obstetrics, Anaesthesia and Nursing Plan for Nigeria.
The Minister of health made this known during the launch in Abuja, saying that the two documents would improve the quality of healthcare service in the country.
In a press statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, it stated that “we shall see quality as fundamental human right, not just as a tool, not as a system, not as a process but we shall see it as a human right which every Nigerian is entitled to enjoy. If we have this in mind, I think we would change the way and manner we deliver our services”.
“Nigerians love quality, when you are offered quality care or otherwise, you know this is the real challenge to our chief executives. We must put things right, we must give quality care to our people, we don’t have a choice, especially now that the secondary healthcare facilities are under-performing,” Adewole noted.
The Minister of health, however, called on the Chief Medical Directors and Medical directors of Tertiary hospitals to be productive, adding that productivity comes as a result of commitment and determination by Chief executives, consultants and other staff.
