We are grateful for additional medical supplies including personal protective equipment, provided by the UNDP and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) to support #COVID19 response activities in Nigeria.

One of the key strategies of Nigeria’s response is to ensure frontline health workers are protected.
