The Federal Government has said it approved the disbursement of N32.8 billion from the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) to support primary healthcare programmes in the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year.
The funds will be shared through the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), and the National Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System (NEMSAS).
This comes as the Federal Government prepares to approve a new set of governance guidelines for the BHCPF.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, announced this yesterday in Abuja at the 10th BHCPF Ministerial Oversight Committee (MOC) meeting.
The minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening the nation’s healthcare system.
