Sanwo-Olu pledges to boost health research

Lagos State Government has reiterated its commitment to strengthening public health research and boosting the capacity of healthcare workers.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who gave the hint yesterday when he spoke at the yearly symposium of the African Forum for Research and Education in Health (AFREhealth), assured the audience of his administration’s willingness to pursue actions and policy frameworks that will help the state improve on universal health coverage indices.

He said his administration would not relent in complementing the effort of government health workers to achieve universal health coverage in line with the dictates of the United Nations (UN).
