The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, on Tuesday launched two new policy documents to improve health of women, children, adolescent and the elderly.
The policies are a one-year operational plan for the Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent and Elderly Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Coordination Platform as well as Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent and Elderly Health Plus Nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) COVID-19 Continuity Plan.

The platforms were established by the ministry in collaboration with the Africa Health Budget Network and other partners.
Ehanire said the RMNCAEH+N platform was launched to address coordination issues in the delivery of high impact interventions affecting mothers, children, adolescents, and the elderly.
He said: “The RMNCAEH+N operational plan will guide implementation of the coordination at the national level and serve as a template for adaptation and adoption at the subnational levels. The plan clearly communicates the vision for the platform, enumerates the structure of the partnership and depicts the operational modalities.”
