I had an interesting conversation with the external validators of the Malaria Strategic review team from FMOH, WHO country & regional offices & the NMEP. We deliberated on ways of strengthening the programme to ensure a more focused implementation & control of malaria in Nigeria.

What an amazing week this turned out to be. Enthralled to watch Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote talk about investing in Primary Health Care. The MOU among the two Foundations, Devt. Partners, State Govts & NPHCDA are catalyzing transformative changes in RI and PHC. Amazing stuff.

The high rate of deaths amongst pregnant women and children under 5 years in Nigeria necessitated the establishment of both the National Emergency Maternal and Child Health Intervention Centre (NEMCHIC) & the Community Health Influencers,Promoters and Services (CHIPS) Programme.

Proud of the deep collaboration between NPHCDA and the Nigerian Army. This relationship is helping us deliver vaccines and essential healthcare to vulnerable populations in the conflict areas of the northeast. Nurturing such partnerships is key to polio eradication. #endpolionow

It was great to meet with Directors and Deputy Directors from the Gates Foundation, Seattle. We presented our vision for PHC in Nigeria. The discussions that followed were rich and exciting. We agreed to follow up with identified areas that need strengthening.

What an end to an exciting day! The PHC games went exceedingly well. Great to see the NPHCDA family having fun together. Everyone was a winner. I even got the trophy for the best football player of the tournament. Hilarious!

It is truly disheartening that a 4-year-old has lost their life to a vaccine-preventable disease, diphtheria. No child should ever suffer such a fate due to a preventable illness. @NphcdaNG , the well-being and health of all Nigerians are of utmost priority. 1/4
