The House of Representatives said it is working on plans to amend the National Health Act towards making healthcare service affordable to Nigerians.
Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, said this at the opening of a three-day retreat on the act in Abuja on Friday.
“We must ensure that our healthcare system at home is robust enough to accommodate and respond to current realities, because if we have learned anything from recent events, it is that in a global crisis, it is every country for itself,” he said.
The speaker said the role of lawmakers was not limited to passing laws, as it extends to their implementation.
