I wonder why Ghana has been ranked ahead of Nigeria, we need to revisit that topic with vax considering the number of Ghanaians who flee to Nigeria to seek proper health.

Danielnino00:


Na mumu Dy do them ..
Lagos should please hurry up with all these mega projects .. The light rail,Lekki free trade zone,Orange island,Lekki deep seaport,etc..

We want to see Lagos economy 2 times bigger than that of Kiberaland ..while they overtake south Africa in their imagination

Shma:
according to the Health Care Index, derived from a collation of data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), health ministries and independent watchdogs in the health sector, South Africa topped the African rankings with an index of 64.14.

The Health Care Index gives a single measure of the state of each country’s health system. Tunisia scored 57.18, making it the second on the list of African Countries with the best Health care system.

Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, ranked ahead of Egypt and Morocco but lagged behind South Africa, Tunisia, Kenya, and Algeria.

Critics have accused the Nigerian president of not doing enough in the health sector in Nigeria but have praised stakeholders in the industry for adequately utilizing available funds.

Health Care Index is an estimation of the overall quality of the health care system, health care professionals, equipment, staff, doctors, cost, etc.

Corruption in government which leads to gross mismanagement, coupled with incompetence in health care by many practitioners has made many hospitals in Africa a dead end.

However, it is safe to say many countries deserve some accolades for their improvements in the health sector in recent times.

These are the countries with the most improved health care system in Africa in 2020.
1. South Africa:

South Africa boasts the highest standard of healthcare in Africa. There are over 200 private hospitals across the country which offer services that match Europe, Asia, and America.

Funding for public healthcare in South Africa currently comes from government spending through taxation and point-of-care spending from those using services.

There are plans to implement a National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme to provide more free services for all and improve the quality of public healthcare.

2. Tunisia:

Tunisia has a public health system funded from taxation run by the Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie that provides care for the majority of the population.

It includes health centers providing primary care, district and regional hospitals, and university hospitals.

3. Kenya:

Kenya has the best Health Care in East Africa. The country has made good progress in expanding access to primary health care services, free maternity services, elimination of user fees for public primary care facilities, and health insurance subsidies for the elderly and severely disabled.

4. Algeria:

Algeria has a public health care system, which is accessible and free of charge to all citizens of Algeria. The government of Algeria finances the federal health care system.

The country scores very high in Convenience of location and Convenience with the cost.

5. Nigeria:

The Nigerian healthcare system consists of two sectors: public and private.

In general, the public healthcare system is of a low standard due to a lack of government funding and inadequate staffing levels. Still, the Private healthcare facilities in Nigeria are of high standards.

6. Egypt:

Healthcare in Egypt consists of both the public and private sectors.

Public health coverage offered through the Ministry of Health operates a series of medical facilities providing free health services.

The country is currently working on an overhaul of its public healthcare system to improve its quality.

7. Morocco:

The first health care policy in Morocco was devised three years after independence in 1959, with the majority of the free healthcare services and management focused on the general public.

The state provides funding and administration. The Ministry of Health runs the National Institutes and Laboratories, Basic Care Health Network and the Hospital Network.

The Defense Department owns and runs its hospitals, and local governments run city health services. Morocco also has a social protection system that covers all employees for sickness, maternity, invalidity, and retirement.

8. Rwanda:

Despite many critics writing the obituary of Rwanda after the disastrous Genocide in 1994, the country has continued to leap expectations.

Rwanda is a country with one of the most sought-after healthcare system in Africa. The country’s budget ensures that the health sector gets over 20 percent of funding juxtaposed to the Abuja declaration of 15 percent which many countries on the continent have not yet adopted.

The country currently has the highest government revenue, but sadly doesn’t have enough private stakeholders in the sector.

9. Tanzania:

President John Magufuli has been at the forefront, making the headlines prioritizing the improvement of public health institutions.

The country also has the envied National Medical Aid Scheme, which is crucial in reaching universal health coverage.

10. Zambia:

The country has been making strides in ensuring that they beef up their workforce.

Let's start with improved health system in Africa 2020 by WHO.

Nigeria still leads west Africa, south Africa still the leaders in south, Kenya east, as we go that way,.

Very good. Any link to this health index.

rvp20182:
You don't suppose that Tinubu Bola gave them free land in 2006 without seeing Dubai superimposed in Lagos. So those pictures were in 2004. I have since done a memory rejig - and yes It was 2004 because I use to watch CNN a lot when in University. In fact I was working most of 2004 - so I think 2002 and 2003 is when I started seeing EKO City - Dubai lebanese took pictures of Dubai and superimposed it to Lagos - and sold the lie to you.

So it very likely I saw Eko City pictures on CNN as early as 2003.

rvp20182:
[s]Obaboon, It very simple. Take pictures of Nairobi like Ghana did and remember to superimposed it on a corner of your slumpolis- Show it to your governors. Tell them you'll build them such a city. This is a public-private partnership. All your governor need is to sign off public land. And you'll build them Nairobi in Accra Ghana.

You go all over the media obviously and sell the lie to the public...of a Dubai in LAGOS ......so nobody will realize you're about to get 10,000 acres of prime beach land for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

After you get the land - you fence it off - build a few roads - and start selling land.

That is EKO DEAD CITY.[/s]

obaaderemi:
So it is now 2003? From 2006 to 2004 and now 2003. And this is the man justnotyou or whatever he called himself was busy defending.

obaaderemi:
A project that already has both local and international funds invested in it can not be allowed to die. It's like the Dangote Refinery. They are privately funded and can't be allowed to die. You are not smart.

rvp20182:
Now where is that Dubai in Africa. Opps you gott by land from Lebanase for 5M-10m dollars and build it.

obaaderemi:
You have lost your mind. You should go and sleep and type when your head clears.

rvp20182:
So I lost my mind because I didn't type buy. Yes you gotta buy back from Lebanese for 5-10M dolalrs an acre. Your country is indeed a zoo. A cursed zoo.

Shma:
why are Ghanaians fleeing to Nigeria to receive proper treatment which is a rare case for a Nigerian to seek the same to Ghana?
Now tell me, why is your health system ahead of Nigeria but on ground things are different?

obaaderemi:
You are angry and started writing incoherently.
Eko Atlantic has multiplier effects. It is to the benefit of Lagos state. It will increase investment in Lagos and also help prevent flooding in Lagos island which has been a problem for decades. Several Nigerian banks are part of the scheme. You can't blame them for planning to make their money back.

rvp20182:
You better reclaim the land and give it free to investors. Then it will happen. But if you expect poor Nigerians to raise 5-10M dollars per plot in Eko city to pay off the Lebanese then you're as crazy as Bola Tinubu - your next president.

How can you re-sell public land after putting a flood wall in?? and hanging pictures of Dubai on it.

rvp20182:
There is no benefits Lagos will derive from it. The lebanase will make lot of money. The flooding wall is designed to protect eko city - and crush the rest of poor neighborhood of Lagos. So it's a double whammy. You left foreigners (aka Nigerians) to steal your oil and now to steal your prime beach plots...and to flood the africans in there.

rvp20182:
You wish - my primary maths record remains unbeaten - since 1994! I was a maths prodigy. When I was 8yrs in grade 2 - I use to compete with best grade 8 kid on mathematical tables- and I don't recall every loosing because I'd have the answer before he thought it - and that in front of the entire school - everyone knew I had special brain. In high school, I was nicknamed computer. That is how I ended up doing CS. I learnt English later. I spin numbers off my head without checking. That I leave you for you to go and do. I am in nairaland. I make my point. And leave you in my wake nitpicking and cherrypicking. The only economics I ever did was economics 101 in my first year - a common course - but you think I am economist. I know more about law - and name it. I have big near photographic memory. I suck information like a sponge and understand the intricacies quicker than you can spot a missing comma in my post.

obaaderemi:
You are really hurting.
When investors come to kenya, don't they put money in the pocket of the government? The Eko Atlantic flood wall is already preventing flooding around ahmadu bello way in Victoria island. You may cry all you want.
And why shouldn't the Lebanese and their Lagos partners make money? They are investors and they have put a lot into the scheme. By the time they are done Lagos GDP will be twice of Kenya's.

Danielnino00:


The thing about being a chronic liar is that you have to tell a hundred lies to cover one lie

obaaderemi:
Nigeria has more high networth individuals than Kenya. So there are many Nigerians who can buy up the houses in the Eko Atlantic city. And there would be foreigners.

obaaderemi:
From 2006 to 2004 to 2003 to 2002. The rvp guy is dumb even by Kenyan standard. Well, I guess he is just a chronic liar.

rvp20182:
Not to extend of allowing Lebanase to own 10,000 of beach land - and like seen here - news from 6th May - ocean surges from Eko city are sinking poor lagos ancestral homes.
https://www.sunnewsonline.com/lagos-assembly-inaugurates-ad-hoc-committee-on-illegal-dredging/

When you reclaimed Lekki - you didn't need the lebanase to come and sell you back the land for 50B dollars.

obaaderemi:
You are a liar.
Nowhere in your link was it written that ocean surges from Eko Atlantic are sinking people's homes in Lagos. I dare you to quote where the article said that. The article was about illegal dredgers and the harm they cause.[/b] You are not only poor in maths but a liar and a desperate idiot. See, this is the headlines of your link:
Is Eko Atlantic an illegal dredger?

rvp20182:
I think we have long established that Eko City started in 2003.They got the free land in 2006 from Bola Tinubu - Lagos Governor at that time. It was officially launched in 2007. Construction began in 2008. Maybe you were too young then to see the hype! But I saw it - and now 2020 - I am very disappointed.

obaaderemi:
Eko city started in 2008 when land reclamation began.
The company in charge was incorporated in 2003. They had to look for financing and all that. In fact the largest funding bank then was Fcmb, a Lagos bank.
You didn't see anything because you kept reviewing the year you claimed to have seen it from 2006 to 2002. A whopping four years.

rvp20182:
Obaboon, Google search Alpha beach+lagos+Eko+flooding. Let me know what you find. The Lebanese high flood wall is re-directing oceans water towards Alpha beach and sinking communities.

obaaderemi:
Show us a quote on from the link you sent that says anything about Eko Atlantic and flooding in Lagos. Stop dancing around. Leave your ass where I can whop it to make things easy for yourself.

rvp20182:
We were talking RENDERS with Sammy before you jumped with the usual nitpicking. When do you think the renders were designed and plastered all over our screens. JUST THINK OBABOON. You can do this.

[b]In 2003 - I was online with Kikuyu - in forums like this.

I joined online forums in 2000 or 1999.[/b)
