The Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, has blamed the deplorable state of tertiary health institutions in the country on the inability of state governors to fund basic primary and secondary health facilities under their respective care.

Adewole, who stated this at the Senate plenary on Tuesday, said state governments had “literally abandoned” health care.

The minister stated, “The states have literally abandoned healthcare such that everything is handled by the Federal Government. We cannot succeed with this.

“What we have done through your support, and I must commend you for approving the healthcare basic fund, it is a game changer.
