Former Nigerian President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan has paid tribute to Dr Stella Adadevoh, who sacrificed her life during the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
Jonathan penned his tribute at the inaugural Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion Health Summit on Friday in Abuja.
Jonathan, represented by Professor John-Kennedy Opara, highlighted the impact of the National Health Act 2014, which he signed into law, noting its role in improving healthcare access for millions of Nigerians.
Jonathan also urged the Anglican Church to lead efforts in health insurance enrollment and advocate for equitable healthcare policies.
He emphasized the Church’s potential to influence health initiatives and partnerships.
Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, Primate of All Nigeria Anglican Church, reflected on the Church’s historical contributions to healthcare and called for renewed efforts to address Nigeria’s health challenges, including corruption and inadequate government response.
He proposed establishing the Church of Nigeria Health Commission and a Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) to improve healthcare services.
