In Nigeria, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the leading causes of maternal deaths, accounting for 27% of maternal mortality in the country. Despite being preventable and treatable, factors like poor care-seeking behavior and the use of substandard medicines continue to put women’s lives at risk.
SCIDaR is proud to announce that we've been awarded a grant from the Catalytic Opportunity Fund, managed by RHSC and the Clinton Health Access Initiative and funded by MSD for Mothers and FCDO, to introduce and scale up the use of heat-stable Carbetocin (HSC) and Tranexamic Acid (TXA)—two critical medicines that prevent and treat PPH without the need for cold storage.
Working in Cross River State, where maternal mortality is significantly higher than the national average, SCIDaR will support the government in updating policies, training healthcare workers, and ensuring life-saving treatments are widely available.
Building on the collaborative success in Lagos, Kano, and Niger states, we remain committed to reducing maternal mortality across Nigeria by improving access to quality PPH prevention and treatment.
Together with our partners CHAI and HSDF, we’re working towards a future where no woman dies giving birth.

@woye1@BayoAdelabu Where are the free prepaid meters? If one is paying this much for a meter, then it definitely shouldn’t be the property of the disco afterwards

@MedLabNigeria What happens to those of us that paid for this year through the remita portal? Because up till now council is yet to give us our license.
@nigimmigration It's like the good works of the Minister are being tested again. I thought passports should be free, processed free and faster. The Minister should not only stay in Abuja, he should visit Sokoto, Taraba and the extreme ends.
With great excitement, we congratulate our new ED/CEO, Dr Uchenna Igbokwe @uchennaigbokwe
following the exit of our former ED/CEO, Dr. @Muyi_Aina.
From all of us @SCIDaR_, we wish Dr. Uche a thriving tenure filled with innovative leadership and impactful strides forward.
We are thrilled to announce the completion of a three-day facilitators training in Nasarawa for the Electronic Laboratory Information System (eN-LIS). This is a milestone for laboratory innovation in Nigeria.

The unveiling of the 2023 Nigeria National Medical Laboratory Policy by @Fmohnigeria to strengthen medical laboratory practice in Nigeria is highly commendable.
The dissemination and implementation of the policy would mark a new era in healthcare delivery in Nigeria.
