President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Prof. Innocent Ujah, says if the nation could have banks for industry and agriculture, it should also have one for health.

He expressed concerns about the ‘slow pace’ of activities in the health sector, warning that it could discourage potential investors.

“We are moving at a snail speed and that’s not right. I also think the private sector participation should be higher. “Even when we say we have improved, the reality on ground does not portray it. We have very high morbidity and mortality rate, infant mortality, neonatal deaths and many other setbacks,” he said.“To make matters worse, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed our weaknesses in the health sector,” he stated.

He said people must understand the nation’s history to fully assess the journey of the Nigerian health sector in the last 60 years.

Or is it just another avenue to siphon the public money so some fat medical pigs can get even more fatter? My concern is what is the intent behind this bank establishment? If set out clearly won't it be high jacked by some medical shenanigans like the SARS? We need assurance.

Despite having the Ministry of health with numerous aids and funds from NGOs and International organisations,they still need Bank.

In as much as you're right, will this change the current situation of our teaching hospitals? Will their be subsidies to all incoherent and unwarranted series of tests patients are required to do before treatment? Will it ginger the staff to work with all agility?

He's not wrong
