……. As the selection interview kicks off.
The Oyo state Government, through the State Ministry of Health, will on Monday inaugurate the State-level National Health Fellows’ Program (NHFP) committee.
The National Health Fellows’ Program is one of the priorities of the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) initiative of the Federal and State Governments of Nigeria aimed at transforming the Nigerian healthcare sector at the National and Subnational level.
One of the goals of the National Health Fellows’ Program is to build young, vibrant health sector professional that will assist in improving the Health sector using the SWAp initiatives.
The Oyo State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi in a media chat explains that the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) is a healthcare transformation initiative of the State and Federal Government of Nigeria, a bold vision made to revolutionize healthcare in the country and across states.

The SWAp initiative is expected to make a significant shift toward a more coordinated and efficient healthcare system in Oyo state.
