Following Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s exposure to a confirmed case of #COVID19, a PCR test performed yesterday the 11th of December has confirmed that he has indeed been infected with the virus which is supported by mild
symptoms and fatigue typical of a mild case of #COVID19 Mr Governor is receiving treatment and is being closely monitored at home by the very experienced State #COVID19 clinical team from IDH Yaba.

My presentation at the @LagHealthScheme UHC Day Celebration.

Over the last 2 decades @followlasg had experimented with many policy initiatives such as: The Free Health Scheme; the community based health insurance scheme (CBHIS) aimed at attaining #UHC #ForAGreaterLagos
The journey towards #UHC has not been without hitches. This necessitated the establishment of an all inclusive mandatory health scheme to bridge the gap

The objective of the scheme is to reduce out of pocket spend, thereby protecting the population against the financial risks
Challenge - fragmentation and low coverage;

•2% of the population of Lagos has health insurance, including fragmented NHIS programs and private health insurance.

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.

@jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @JokeSanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial
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

With utmost sense of responsibility, I am obliged to make it known to the general public that I have tested positive to #COVID19.

Consequently, I have proceeded on a 14 days self- isolation and treatment at home.
Nevertheless, I remain committed to continue to discharge my duties as the Commissioner for Health and Deputy Incident Commander for #COVID19 responses in Lagos State.

I am extremely enthusiastic and hopeful of overcoming this phase of our collective fight against #COVID19.
I have the full support of the Incident Commander and Governor of Lagos State @jidesanwoolu, the entire Cabinet of the Government of Lagos State as well as my team @LSMOH to put this behind as soon as possible.
