Federal Capital Territory Minister of State Dr Mariya Mahmoud has revealed that President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda places health at the core of national development.
This, according to her, is evidenced by the ongoing reforms to revitalise primary healthcare (PHC), expand health insurance coverage, improve health financing, and enhance workforce welfare.
Mahmoud made this assertion at the inaugural National Health Convention and Round Table 1.0, organised by the APC Medical Council at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja.
She hailed the leadership and members of the APC Medical Council for the initiative, noting that it aligned perfectly with the party’s vision of people-centred governance and sustainable development.
She highlighted that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration, under the purposeful leadership of President Bola Tinubu, has consistently demonstrated a commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery and promoting policies that enhance the health and well-being of Nigerians.
The minister described the roundtable discussion as timely and urged participants to deliberate on issues that would improve PHC and maternal and child health outcomes, as well as address other lingering health challenges.
She emphasised the need to focus on practical, implementable solutions to accelerate progress toward universal health coverage.
The minister, however, affirmed that the administration remained fully aligned with the national vision and committed to supporting collaborative efforts to improve access, quality, and equity in healthcare delivery for all residents.
She added that, with President Tinubu’s full support, huge resources were being committed to strengthening the FCT healthcare system across the city and satellite towns.
Mahmoud, therefore, encouraged all stakeholders to translate the day’s discussions into measurable actions that would positively impact communities.
