Health for Development. Farm House Dialogue (6th, Ota, Nigeria, September 1-3, 1989).
Africa Leadership Forum.
This document summarizes discussions at an invitational workshop on health care development in Nigeria. The discussion centered on the need for cooperation among government service-delivery agencies and on the need to improve general national economic conditions. The following broad topics were discussed: (1) the history of health care during the early traditional period, the colonial period, and the years since independence; (2) problems with the implementation of the current National Health Policy, which is based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) goal of just and equitable health care for all by the year 2000; (3) the inadequacies of the health care delivery system and the problems in training health care providers; (4) the problems of obtaining and administering funds; (5) the shared responsibilities of the family, the community, local governments, state governments, and the federal government; and (6) strategies for providing medicine, health insurance, population control, and just and equitable health care delivery. A list of participants, the text of two introductory addresses, and a description of the Africa Leadership Forum are appended. (FMW)
