#COVID19 is NOT MALARIA!

Get tested if you experience symptoms associated with #COVID19.

#TakeResponsibility

Frequent infectious disease outbreaks such as #cholera can only be prevented if healthy environmental practices are initiated, enforced and practiced by all!

Let us all take the extra step to stop:
❌ Open defecation
❌ Indiscriminate refuse dumping
❌ Improper disposal of sewage

#NCDCInTheNews

“Prior to 2016, Nigeria did not have a functional public health reference laboratory despite the high burden of infectious diseases. Consequently, this affected our response to disease outbreaks,”

The #COVID19 pandemic so far has been a swift kick in the leg for Nigeria to strengthen the diagnostic capacity of health systems.
