“Before the coming of this administration, the health sector had only six per cent allocation in the state budget. However, with continuous evidence-based AOP development and the political will of His Excellency (Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje OFR (Khadimul Islam), allocation to the health sector in the state budget rose to 15 per cent in 2019 and was sustained in 2020. Despite the current economic challenges, Kano State has achieved above 15 per cent allocation to the health sector in 2021 (16%) and 2022 (17%).
