@abdulljalo Good habit. Also, endeavour to invest what is saved ASAP.

The calibre of participants and issues discussed indicate the global consensus to change Nigeria’s malaria narrative. This is a turning point towards accelerated progress in malaria control in Nigeria.

[Muhammad Ali Pate @muhammadpate]

Today, we had a great opportunity to rethink malaria elimination in Nigeria. Thanks @DrTedros @WHO @MoetiTshidi, @GlobalFund @PeterASands, @gavi , @drdavidwalton, @PMIgov, @JoyPhumaphi_, Hon Minister of State @DrTunjiAlausa, Dr Ntadom NC NMEP @Fmohnigeria, and numerous Nigerian, African, and global health leaders for joining us to interrogate the facts and begin to chart a new path towards malaria elimination as part of President Tinubu’s @officialABAT Renewed Hope Agenda. We also were glad to have the Nigerian Governors Forum @NGFSecretariat and sub-national leadership in the dialogue.

We identified key shifts and strategic actions to combat malaria in Nigeria, including:

1.Establishing an independent Advisory group on Malaria Elimination in Nigeria (#AMEN);
2.Developing a pragmatic, costed plan for malaria elimination making explicit the required trade offs;
3.Intensified malaria case management, including NHIA reforms, domesticated Affordable Medicines for malaria effort, expanding primary health and frontline workforce;
4.Mobilizing domestic and global funding for malaria;
5. Relentless focus on operational excellence to deploy and optimize existing tools for high coverage, including LLINs, SMC, IPT, IVM and phased introduction of safe, efficacious vaccines;
6.Enhancing community and leadership involvement in malaria elimination;
7.Strengthening data integrity and accountability;
8.Intensifying preparedness and response to climate change’s impacts on malaria;
9.Exploring bold innovations in service delivery and financing mechanisms.

They are also involved in countless epidemics of Meningitis, Lassa, Cholera, COVID19 etc. Having adequate and well-trained epidemiologists with the latest tools across the country is therefore critical to thwarting future outbreaks and addressing established health threats. 3/3

#WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay

September 7th is set aside annually as World Field Epidemiology Day. Epidemiologists or Disease Detectives are specialised professionals who respond to public health emergencies by identifying the cause and those at risk and devise ways to stop it.

Epidemiologists play a critical role in addressing outbreaks. For instance, only few cases of Ebola were a result of the painstaking work of epidemiologists who ensured all contacts of infected persons were traced & adequately isolated to prevent the spread of the virus 2/3

@drahmadums A sad loss. May Allah forgive their shortcomings and Grants his loved ones and associates the strength to bear his loss. Amin.

[Jamilu Nikau @Jinikau]

@Bammami You hit the nail on the head. Most interventions aimed at ‘revitalising’ PHCs across the country are toward infrastructures. While decent structures is good, the availability of well trained and motivated Human Resources and community ownership are PHC’s most critical assets.

As an advocate for vaccination against COVID-19, I think it's pertinent to provide evidence of walking the talk. Vaccination will not only reduce one's chance of getting a severe COVID-19 case, it will also give you the 'immunity passport' to travel abroad for any reason.
