The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, said on Tuesday that Nigeria would end malaria mortality by 2020.
The minister stated this at a town hall meeting and policy dialogue for good governance jointly organised by the Alumni Association of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (AANI) and Federal Ministry of Information and Culture in Abuja.
We have set some time frame for ourselves. We are committed to reducing maternal mortality before the life span of this administration, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the minister as saying at the forum. We want to end malaria mortality by the end of 2020.
Adewole said government was on the verge of putting in place a new health policy for the country.
