Antimicrobials which includes antimalarials are medicines critical to fighting malaria.

Yesterday, Dr Ifedayo Adetifa made his first appearance at the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) press briefing as the NCDC Director General.

In addition to his recognition of His Excellency, President Buhari’s commitment to health security, he thanked the Federal Ministry of Health, PSC and key stakeholders for the warm welcome.

Dr Adetifa spoke on ongoing efforts by NCDC to sustain Nigeria’s #COVID19 response & urged Nigerians to #TakeResponsibility for their safety:

“For context, of the 150 #COVID19 deaths recorded over the last 2 months, 81% were unvaccinated, 3% were partially vaccinated while 4% were fully vaccinated. This reiterates that chances of a severe outcome from #COVID19 are higher in unvaccinated persons."

“While vaccination coverage has not lived up to the ideals of equity required to assure global health security, it is essential we play our part by utilising all opportunities to get vaccinated.”

- Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, NCDC Director General

“We cannot deny many Nigerians still react to any reference to #COVID19 with disbelief.

The virus is here and community transmission is occurring mostly silently, we should do all we can to prevent the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants capable of evading whatever immune protections we currently enjoy”

- Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, NCDC Director-General
