Nigeria plans to absorb 28,000 health workers previously supported by US funding into its national healthcare system, according to the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Ali Pate.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Hard Copy program recently, Pate emphasized the government’s commitment to sustaining progress in combating HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, despite changes in US funding priorities.

He noted that while the federal and state governments are increasing healthcare investments, the private sector, including hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry, must also play a greater role.

“Our total health spending in Nigeria consists of 30% public funding and 70% private. While overseas development assistance for health has been significant, it is not the largest component of our healthcare expenditure,” Pate explained.

He estimated external health aid at approximately $67 per capita, amounting to a significant sum when multiplied by Nigeria’s 200 million population.

Also, the Minister acknowledged the US government’s substantial contributions to Nigeria’s healthcare system, particularly in HIV, TB, and malaria programs.

However, he pointed out that much of this funding is managed by external partners rather than funneled directly through government systems.

Concerns have grown among public health stakeholders as the US shifts its funding priorities, leading to reduced support for health initiatives in Nigeria. In response, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved ₦4.8 billion on February 3 for the procurement of 150,000 HIV treatment packs to support Nigerians living with the virus.
