PVAC — Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value ChainPVAC

Our Mandate

A comprehensive, multi-faceted mandate.

In October 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu established PVAC to drive transformative change across Nigeria's healthcare ecosystem. Our work is defined by three mandates — each describing a specific, measurable target.

PVAC carries a comprehensive mandate designed to accelerate value-chain transformation, foster cross-sector collaboration, and expand private-sector participation. Each of the three mandates below describes a specific target — together they form the complete PVAC programme.

01

Domestic Manufacturing

A measurable increase in the domestic manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologics, medical consumables and devices — reducing import dependence and strengthening national resilience.

Reduce outbound medical tourism by improving the quality of health services in Nigeria and catalysing alternative health ecosystems within the country.
