    Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says pending a full committee report review and a complete policy document appraisal, a new health reform bill that will reposition the country’s health sector for improved delivery of set objectives to Nigerians will be in the works soon.

    Prof. Osinbajo made this disclosure, yesterday in Abuja at the closing of the two-day Presidential Health Reform Committee Retreat, noting that “in two days you have reached some concrete conclusions.”

    “The next steps now are to finalize subcommittee reports for the review of the full committee and produce a full committee report to guide the drafting of the policy document. And then draft a health reform Bill,” Prof. Osinbajo stated, yesterday.

    The Vice President then thanked the Committee members for their hard work and dedication, noting that “in two days you have reached some concrete conclusions.”

    He also reaffirmed the Buhari administration’s commitment towards ensuring that the reform objectives are achieved.

    Earlier at the opening of the retreat on Monday, the Vice President emphasized that the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to reposition Nigeria’s healthcare delivery system must include collaboration among different levels of government and the private sector to ensure effective implementation of reforms that will cater to the needs of Nigerians in the 21st century.
