NGF announces $6.1m awards for top-performing primary healthcare states
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) will reward states excelling in primary healthcare with a total of $6.1 million. The awards ceremony is set for Friday in Abuja. The initiative, now in its third edition, aims to recognize and strengthen leadership in healthcare delivery.
"It celebrates results, rewards performance, and ultimately delivers better care for our people."
Highlights
- Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq announced the awards, which will recognize 13 states for outstanding and improved healthcare performance.
- The programme is run by the NGF in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Health, NPHCDA, UNICEF, and the Gates Foundation.
