President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his determination to advance women’s health, underscoring this commitment with the creation, for the first time in Nigeria’s history, of a dedicated Office on Women’s Health, a move that signals renewed federal resolve to make women’s health a core national development priority.

This was disclosed in Abuja on Tuesday at a multi-stakeholder meeting convened by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Women’s Health, Dr Adanna Steinacker, who acknowledged President Tinubu for establishing the new office, describing it as a landmark step in institutionalising women’s health within Nigeria’s governance framework.

The meeting, convened under the authority of the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, brought together women’s groups, civil society organizations, health professionals, youth-led organizations, media practitioners, and government officials for a listening and alignment forum on women’s health challenges across the country.

The forum, according to Steinacker, is a part of a broader strategy to ensure health remains central to national development planning, while recalling that on September 11, 2025, the President formally launched the Office of the Senior Special Assistant on Women’s Health alongside its core mandate, known as RenewHer, an acronym for Health, Equity and Reform.
