Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has sought the support of the Organized Private Sector in ensuring universal vaccine coverage for preventable diseases as well as the treatment of cancer of the cervix, saying government alone cannot address these health challenges.

Speaking Monday night in Abuja at a reception dinner for international partners, health administrators, research institutions, health workers, donor agencies among other stakeholders held at the State House, Mrs. Jonathan said “I understand that you have had useful deliberations on how our nation can ensure universal vaccine coverage for preventable diseases and you have started developing mechanisms to ensure the commitment of all stakeholders to this noble cause”. A two day National Vaccine Summit had opened earlier in the day. There, First Lady Jonathan had called for the institutionalization of a bi-annual African Vaccine Summit that will monitor and facilitate the availability of safe vaccines on the continent.

She also called for the establishment of a Nigerian Alliance for Vaccine Initiative, modeled after the highly successful Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative (GAVI).

The Wife of the President said each year the government provides funds for vaccines yet gaps remained. She said this was the reason she decided to host the dinner with the stakeholders to proffer sustainable solutions that would bridge those gaps.

“I learnt that about one million Nigerian children die each year from conditions that can be prevented by simple vaccination, this sad situation is unacceptable. I will like to appeal to the private sector to support this laudable programme. This they could do through Private Public Partnership arrangements”, she said.

The First Lady further pledged that she would work with wives of state governors to advocate for provision of vaccines. “Our women must be protected from developing cancer of the cervix. The campaigns should be taken to the grass roots and our people must be educated on the factors associated with these vaccine preventable illness”, Mrs. Jonathan said.

She thanked all the local and international partners including the Paediatric Association of Nigeria and the John Hopkins International Vaccine Access centre for organising the Summit.

Earlier, Dr Ado Mohammed, Executive Director, National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, thanked the president’s wife for hosting participants of the Summit, describing the gesture as a pointer to how important mothers and children are to the nation. “The Federal Government has done well to ensure there’s universal coverage of vaccination but we need to partner with business and corporate bodies because vaccine business is becoming increasingly expensive for government as more than N55 billion would be spent annually on vaccines”, he added.

Also speaking, the Minister of State for Health, Dr Muhammad Ali Pate restated Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring that all is done for children and women in the country to live healthier lives. “No price is too high to save the life of a child. No price is too high to save the life of a mother. We will continue to ensure that funding for immunization is sustained”, the Minister stressed.

At the reception dinner, Mrs. Jonathan was recognized as the first ambassador for immunization by the Local Organizing Committee of the National Vaccine Summit in Nigeria.
