World Bank-assisted HOPE-GOV programme partners BHCPF on PHC reforms

The World Bank-assisted HOPE-GOV Programme has partnered with the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) to enhance coordination in primary health care (PHC) reforms in Nigeria.

In a move to bolster Nigeria's health sector, the HOPE-GOV Programme, supported by the World Bank, has formed a partnership with the BHCPF. This collaboration aims to strengthen coordination efforts within PHC reforms. The initiative focuses on improving the delivery and management of basic health services across the country.

The partnership was highlighted in recent reports from ThisDayLive, emphasizing its role in addressing gaps in primary health care infrastructure and funding. While specific details on the agreement's timeline or implementation steps remain limited in available sources, the alliance underscores ongoing efforts to align international assistance with national health priorities.

This development occurs amid broader discussions on health sector improvements in Nigeria, where programmes like HOPE-GOV seek to support governance and operational efficiency in public health systems.
