The Federal Government on Monday launched a major investment-driven reform to tackle persistent electricity failures in Nigerian hospitals, targeting at least 30 per cent uninterrupted power supply across healthcare facilities by 2027 under the Nigeria Power for Health Initiative (NPHI).
The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, and the Minister of Power, Mr. Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe who disclosed this in Lagos at the National Healthcare Electrification Investor Matchmaking Forum said the reform will end hospital outages.
