The Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (NWAN) and other stakeholders have called for collaboration among medical practitioners to strengthen healthcare delivery in the country. The experts made this call on Thursday in Abuja at the association’s Women in Medicine, Health, and Wellness conference themed: “Strengthening Networks for Prompt Diagnosis and Care.” The event was organised in collaboration with Focus Africa.
The group’s National President, Rosemary Ogu, said the conference is aimed at enhancing collaborations to optimise patient care. According to Ms Ogu, collaboration and knowledge-sharing are essential for achieving optimal outcomes, adding that by “combining our respective expertise and insights, we can leverage our collective strengths to produce superior results and enhance patient care.” Speaking on healthcare provision at the grassroots and universal health coverage, the Mandate Secretary of Health and Environmental Service, Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA), Fasawe Adedolapo, noted that health campaigns have been taken to the grassroots, emphasising the importance of prevention over treatment.
She stated that the tireless advocacy and health promotion efforts have yielded positive results, with the FCT community fully embracing the message.
