The FCTA Administration (FCTA) has stressed the need for a multi-sectoral approach, that requires for all sectors to work together to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030.
It called for the participation of experts from across sectors for the active involvement of all sectors of the economy in achieving UHC by 2030.
Acting Executive Secretary of the FCT Primary HealthCare Board (FCT-PHCB), Dr. Ruqqaya Wamakko, made the call during the presentation of the ‘’Excellent Leadership and Humanitarian Service Award’’ to her by the Legislators Writers Forum of the National Assembly.
Wamakko identifed health services as being so wide to be left alone in the hands of health professionals; adding that there was the need for all hands including the media to be on deck to deliver primary health care services to unserved and underserved communities in the country.
She also described the award bestowed on her, as a surprise package as she never expected it, and thanked the Legislator’s Writers Forum for finding her worthy of the Award.
According to her, while performing her duties with zeal and passion, she never knew that some people were observing and taking notes.
She therefore promised to do more for humanity as the Award will further propel her to continue to render her selfless service to humanity.
Earlier, the Secretary of the Legislators Writers Forum Solomon Onyenso, who presented the award said that the award was given to Wamakko strictly on merit having taken time to scrutinise her and her activities for a period.
He, then, charged the awardee not to relent on her services but to do more in her service to her country and humanity.
