The experts said doing so would ensure sustainable financing for health, and access to quality preventive, curative and palliative services in the country.
Chairman of the group Hon. Muhammad Usman said there was the need to prioritize health not just at the federal level but also at the state and local government levels.
He said: “The most important thing is prioritization by government at all levels starting from the federal level, the states then local governments.
“Health must be number two, particularly at the federal level because today, insecurity is number one. When you look at the agenda of the government, health is almost number seven and that is really not acceptable.
