Abstract:
Health For All by the Year 2000, usually referred to as HFA/2000, is a goal that has been accepted by most nations of the world. PHC is the strategy designed to achieve this laudable goal. In Nigeria, there is no doubt that remarkable strides have been made to achieve the goal of HFA/2000 in recent years. However, in order to fully realise this goal, some further revolutionary management steps are needed. This article first examines the progress on HFA made so far in Nigeria; and then, discusses some management initiatives that need to be taken or accelerated to be able to reach that desirable destination.
