Last Friday, the National One Health Technical Committee (NOHTC) brought together key stakeholders across human, animal, and environmental health to:

✅ Review progress on previous action points
✅ Share updates on ongoing programmes and current outbreaks
✅ Align strategies to strengthen Nigeria’s health security through coordinated, multisectoral action

Together, we’re advancing a resilient, data-driven OneHealth system for prevention, preparedness, and response.

#WorldAIDSDay 2025

Today, we join the global community to commemorate World AIDS Day, a time to honour progress, reflect on persisting challenges, and strengthen our commitment to ending HIV as a public health threat.

This year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” highlights the need for resilient, innovative, and people-centred health systems. At NCDC, we remain dedicated to supporting integrated services, reducing stigma, advancing data-driven interventions, and promoting regular testing and early treatment.

Together, we can build a future where disruptions do not slow progress and where everyone has access to the care they need to live healthy, empowered lives.
