The Association of Nigeria Health Journalists (ANHEJ) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to implement 15 percent of the ‘Abuja Declaration’ of its country’s annual budget to the health sector to curb the increasing rate of maternal mortality deaths in the country.
President of the Association Joseph Kadiri gave the charge during the opening of the 7th annual conference of ANHEJ on Thursday 7th December 2023 in Nasarawa state.
He said the allocation of N1.33 trillion representing five percent of the entire 2024 Proposed Budget is abysmally low and harped on the need to deploy more funds to the health sector to ensure the full implementation of the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF)
