The Nigerian government is seeking a $500 million loan from the World Bank to address critical staffing gaps in the health sector. This move aims to strengthen the country’s healthcare system and improve service delivery.
The loan will focus on supporting the health sector’s human resources, infrastructure, and equipment needs. This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to revitalize the healthcare system and ensure quality services for citizens.
Nigeria has previously received World Bank funding for healthcare initiatives, including a $500 million loan to improve maternal, child, and nutrition health services. This new loan demonstrates the government’s continued commitment to prioritizing healthcare and seeking international support to address pressing challenges.
