Gap in funding and legislations have been identified as key challenges affecting the effective management of the FCT healthcare sector. Making this assertion, the Acting Secretary, FCTA Health and Human Services Secretariat (HHSS), Dr. Mohammed Kawu, noted that the capacity of the Secretariat to efficiently plan, implement and manage the FCT healthcare sector depends largely on funds. Kawu, while briefing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, decried the situation where some of its activities, programmes and projects are over dependence on donor fund. He added that the secretariat is also faced with lack of appropriate legislation to back the activities of the FCT school of Nursing and Midwifery.
