Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) had convened two prior national HRH conferences, the first in 2011. One of the most crucial elements in strengthening the country's health system is HRH, or the health workforce. The Nigerian government has introduced a number of initiatives in recent years, from Primary Healthcare Under One Roof (PHCUOR) in 2011 to the more recent Primary Healthcare Revitalization Scheme in 2017, but many of these initiatives will succeed only if the country’s health workforce is sufficient. Strengthening the health workforce is a crucial step, and this strategic approach formed the main impetus of the third national HRH conference in 2017.
