"When #COVID19 hit Nigeria, the country lacked sufficient PPE, diagnostic equipment and medical countermeasures, which are lifesaving medicine and supplies used to fight new infectious disease threats as they emerge"

From our emergency preparedness and response teams to our administration and finance teams, we’ve taken a multi-sectoral approach to fighting #COVID19.

Read how with support from Resolve to Save Lives, we strengthened Nigeria’s health supply chain.

The long term solution for #cholera lies in access to safe drinking water, maintenance of proper sanitation and hygiene.

#Cholera is preventable and treatable; however, it can be deadly when people who are infected do not access care immediately.

Nigerians are advised to visit a health facility immediately, if they have sudden onset of profuse watery diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and weakness.
