The Federal Government has unveiled the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) Guideline 2.0, a revised framework designed to strengthen coordination, transparency, and efficiency in Nigeria’s primary healthcare system.
Speaking at the launch in Abuja, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, said the updated guideline underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring performance-based implementation and accountability in the use of health funds.
Professor Pate, who also chairs the BHCPF Ministerial Oversight Committee, noted that the Federal Government has approved ₦32.9 billion to be disbursed through all implementation gateways under the fund.
He added that every naira released will be tracked to guarantee transparency and measurable improvements in healthcare delivery nationwide.
The launch coincided with the 3rd Quarter 2025 Meeting of the Ministerial Oversight Committee on the BHCPF, where stakeholders reaffirmed their dedication to improving access to quality health services, particularly at the primary care level.
