Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has decried the inability of nations across the African continent to harness available resources to provide home-grown solutions to their health challenges.

Obasanjo made this remark at the launch of the Coalition for Dialogue on Africa (CoDA) Independent Task Team on Equitable and Universal Access to Vaccines and Vaccination in Africa.

The launch, which was held on Monday at the Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Edo State, South South Nigeria, had in attendance medical experts, researchers and policymakers from nations across the continent of Africa.
