the total sum for health institutions as given
by the director-general, budget office is
more than N200bn.

allocations to the teaching hospitals, the
federal medical centers and the specialist
hospitals owned by the federal government.
He added: “The increased spending on
government health institutions in the current
budget should be seen in the light of the
administration’s plan to improve medical
facilities at home as a way of discouraging
overseas trips in search of treatment.”
