 Vice President Kashim Shatema says increasing domestic finance and industrialization and improved outcomes will be top most on the agenda of the administration in the health sector. The vice president stated this when a delegation from the global health partners, the Global Fund United States President's Malaria Initiative PMI and the U.S. President's emergency plan for AIDS relief paid him a curtsy visit at the presidential villa. Earlier, the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, said the visit of the global health partners was to take stock of the progress made so far, and reassure the Tinnable's administration of their commitment to the efforts to combat HIV-AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis among others. This visit symbolizes the confidence, the alignment that our global partners have around the vision of our president, President Bola Ahmed Tinnable, and his desire to transform Nigeria's health system to improve the health and well-being of Nigerians. The two visitors, three of them, have now committed almost two billion U.S. dollars in grant financing for health of Nigerians over the next three years. That's a remarkable commitment, which shows they are confident on the vision of our president and the approach that we have now taken to deliver on that, along with state governments and local governments. And all Nigerians will need to put hands together so that we move the health sector forward as a basis for transforming our population to be very productive and to achieve the prosperity that is suddenly in our future. On his part, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Ambassador John Nkegasang, said the visit has provided an opportunity for the partners to appreciate the vision and direction of the Tinnable administration for the health sector. To lend our support to the new administration in the fight against HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, we have a strong partnership with the government of Nigeria in all three domains, especially in the area of HIV-AIDS, which I oversee. And over the last close to 20 years, we've invested about 7.8 billion dollars in supporting your fight against HIV-AIDS. Want to assure the government of Nigeria that we will continue to work with them under their leadership as they chart a new direction for the health outcomes in the country. Nigeria is the largest recipient of global fund financing of any country in the world. And we are in the process of designing programs and committing about a billion dollars that will be provided by the Global Fund to Nigeria over the next three years. These programs include HIV programs working in partnership with PEPFAR, malaria programs working in coordination with the Presidential Malaria Initiative and of course with the government itself, and also TB programs.
