The federal government has urged states to domesticate the Mental Health Act in the health sector.
The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Salako, made the appeal during a town hall meeting at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, the state capital.
Salako said President Bola Tinubu prioritises the health sector, which is evident in the Mental Health Act that has been passed, majorly to provide a more robust framework in ensuring that the mental health of Nigerians is secured.
He appealed to the Ogun Ministry of Health through the Commissioner for Health, Hon. Tomi Coker to domesticate the Health Act at the state level.
