Likewise a National Health Policy was approved this week by Council, the third of such in the history of the country, after earlier health policies were approved in 1988 and 2004.
Health Minister explains that the Policy is to promote healthy living for all Nigerians with special emphasis on reviving the primary health sector which 70 percent of Nigerian citizens use.
