Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has said that pending a full committee report review and a complete policy document appraisal, a new health reform bill will be in the works soon.
Osinbajo made this disclosure, in Abuja, at the closing of the two-day Presidential Health Reform Committee Retreat, noting that “in two days you have reached some concrete conclusions.”
The Vice President then thanked the Committee members for their hard work and dedication, noting that “in two days you have reached some concrete conclusions.”
He also reaffirmed the Buhari Administration’s commitment towards ensuring that the reform objectives are achieved.

The Health Minister, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, also a member of the Committee was in attendance at the retreat and also Senator Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, among others.
