Lagos needs 40,000 doctors, says Sanwo-Olu, unveils new healthcare roadmap
Speaking at the opening of the 2nd Eko Health Convention in Lagos, themed “Building a Healthier Lagos: Connecting Access with Excellence,” Sanwo-Olu said the next phase of the state’s health reform agenda would focus on building a sustainable system that combines wider access with improved quality of care.
