NESG Health Policy Commission General Assembly

The Health Policy Commission (HPC) is one of the public private dialogue platforms at the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), which aims to strengthen Nigeria’s health system and drive policy adoption in line with the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) objectives. It also plays a pivotal role in facilitating the adoption and implementation of recommendations from the Nigerian Economic Summit (NES), the NESG’s annual flagship event, aimed at ensuring equitable access to healthcare, quality service delivery, and financial risk protection.

Bringing together public and private sector stakeholders, civil society, academia, and international organizations, the HPC seeks to address systemic challenges in healthcare delivery, access, and financing. It recognises health as both a fundamental human right and a critical driver of economic development. To achieve its objectives, the HPC operates through thematic groups namely: Public Health, Health as a Business, and (more recently) Health Technology. Through multi-sectoral collaboration, the Commission advocates for evidence-based policies that strengthen health systems, enhance service delivery, and align Nigeria’s healthcare sector with international best practices and global health goals.

In recognition of the important role health experts and the public play, the Health Policy Commission (HPC) usually hosts a General Assembly (GA) to engage relevant stakeholders on proposed initiatives for the year. The General Assembly for 2025 is scheduled for March 12, 2025. The GA provides an opportunity for HPC members to learn about the activities of the HPC and discuss important issues concerning the health sector and the HPC’s strategic focus areas for 2025.
