Today is International Day Of #EpidemicPreparedness.

The right time to start preparing for an epidemic is before it hits.

It is important to leverage on lessons learnt from the #COVID19 pandemic and other outbreaks to ensure that Nigeria is better prepared for the next disease outbreak and invest better in systems to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks.
