In my address @lagoshsc forum 2020, I specially congratulated the Permanent Secretary of @lagoshsc Dr. Ademuyiwa B. Eniayewun for his courage to address the issue of bureaucracy in Lagos State health system.

In eliminating excessive bureaucratic processes @LSMOH is using digital platforms which makes operations easier and faster as seen in other parts of the world.

This is done by putting in place the Lagos #SHIP - a smart health information platform for Lagos State health sector.

However, there are other issues in our health system that needs be addressed to reduce bureaucracy ; they are, infrastructure, man power deficiency, and budget efficiency.

There’s the need to take budget efficiency a step further by not just looking at the amount drawn out but

ensuring the budget makes impact.

@LSMOH has been able to ensure impactful budget by reviewing it’s health budget to identify areas that do not perform.

Budget monitoring systems are also important in the health sector, appointing officers strictly to monitor the budget

is very necessary to measure the impact of the budget.

In order to put effective governance structure in place @LSMOH has inaugurated at least seven boards as an additional resources/forms of experience to aid the Ministry take up it's responsibilities effectively.

In conclusion, I urge the medical fraternity to have a new frame of mind designed to streamline the processes within @LSMOH to ensure a meaningful impact of a drawn down budget that the people of Lagos will recognize and benefit from #ForAGreaterLagos
