Every day, not a focus of all kids and disciplines living in the choice of this country in such a way that it depends on the push and the boom, factors are never ending. Focuses are projecting a new, enlarged, new flows of animals, removed because of no human resource management. For his part, the chairman of the conference, Professor Ushibogun Akin, noted that universal health coverage is beyond finance. He maintained that involvement of the communities is germane to achieving great results. We cannot achieve universal health coverage without involving people who are supposed to benefit from health services, who must involve the communities. So one of the things that we need to do to achieve universal health coverage is to make sure that our world health communities function, that our local community authorities function and that the citizens themselves have parts of the decision making. Otherwise, you expect all the money, you can mobilize all the money, but you will never get the health outcomes that you desire. The wife of the legal state governor, Dr Ibidyukesawonlu, delivered the keynote address. She was represented by Ola Hibiyoi. She emphasized that the overall well-being of all legosians is of paramount interest to the governor. The health and well-being of all residents is of top priority to the state government under the administration of his excellency, Mr. Baba Gideson Kourishola Insomunu. This explains the reasons for the various initiatives and sustained interventions in the health sector to ensure the well-being and welfare of legosians in line with the things plus the gender of the greater legos.

Early challenging, the current situation we find ourselves in, health care inflation is real. We all know in the press, social media, in recent times, you've seen the huge astronomical jump in cost of medication. So you know, these kind of problems can only be resolved when you have the two arms in health care working together and recognizing that both arms are under this huge financial burden, as well as the people we seek to serve. They are also under this huge financial burden and there's no way of transferring the burden to one side. We all will take a hit together.
