She recalled hosting the private healthcare providers earlier this year and said they had a very productive engagement when issues of building the capacity of Nigeria health sector was the major focus, and funding was discovered to be the major challenge.
The first lady therefore called on the healthcare providers to take advantage of the Federal Government's initiative through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines for the operation of N100 billion credit support for the healthcare sector "as was released recently contained in a circular dated March 25, 2020 to the commercial banks."
She noted that the adoption of the initiative would help in building and expanding the capacity of the Nigerian health sector and ultimately reduce medical trips and tourism outside Nigeria.
She commended all frontline health workers and citizens for their steadfastness as Nigeria intensifies efforts to curb the spread of Coronavirus.
