During a pandemic, no one is safe until everyone is safe. Leaving people behind is not an option if we are to succeed.

This #WorldAidDay, we join the global community to emphasise the need to #EndAids and #EndPandemics.

We should work together to limit the spread of #COVID19:

💉Get vaccinated if you have access
😷 Wear a face mask
↔️ Keep physical distance
🤧🧼 Good hand & respiratory hygiene
🪟 Ventilate spaces
🏥Seek medical attention if you feel ill

#TakeResponsibility

Beware of Scammers❗

Please, disregard any message or call claiming to be from the NCDC and asking for your account details or BVN.

#TakeResponsibility, verify all information from credible sources including NCDC and your State Ministry of Health.

Business owners & facility managers should promote #HandHygiene at all times by providing adequate hand hygiene supplies such as running water, soap & hand sanitiser in all shared spaces.

It is simple but it is very important!!!

#TodayInNCDC

We held a send forth ceremony for our post-baccalaureate interns.

For us at Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, young people are integral to the work we do now and for the future, as we aim to build a generation of 'disease detectives'

Over the last three months, the #NCDCInterns have immensely studied and contributed across various departments to achieve our mandate of protecting the health of Nigerians.
