Season Greetings from all of us at CHECOD!

CHECOD team had a Meeting on Quality Assurance of 2025 Annual Operational Plan (AOP) for States and Federal Health Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The primary objective is to assess the quality of AOPs to determine if they are realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with national and state-specific health priorities and also document identified gaps, challenges and best practices in the planning process of the submitted AOPs and engage stakeholders to ensure the AOPs meet the required standards. The meeting held on the 17th of December, 2024 by 11:00 am at 6th Floor, FMOH Conference Hall, Abuja Nigeria.

Today, we recognise the academic milestone of the Center for Health Economics (CHECOD) Managing Director in person of Dr. Oluwole Smile on your conferment of Doctoral Degree (Ph.D). This honour is an acknowledgement of your impressive and impactful achievements in the health sector development over the years. CHECOD celebrate with you on this esteemed recognition and believe this will spur you on for more success in future endeavours. Congratulations sir!

The alarming brain drain of health workers in Nigeria in the past decades has caused a gap in the health sector with negative effect on health system strengthening making it difficult to achieve UHC in Nigeria. We appreciate our patriotic frontline health workers who are still delivering quality health care services amidst several challenges such as poor remuneration, high inflation, burnout, huge catchment population resulting to high Doctor/Nurse to population ratio, inadequate equipment, ageing infrastructure, limited capacity building, among others. CHECOD joins the rest of the world to wish every health worker the best and most rewarding year as we continue to save lives for a healthy and prosperous economy. #Workers #healthworkers #WorkersDay #uhc
