45 days of talking about Nigeria’s health system, its gaps, its innovations, its people, its possibilities.

Now I am focused on the feeling that something important is about to happen.

Ebola blood samples need specialist handling.

Dr Loice Ombajo explains how designated laboratories use biocontainment to protect healthcare workers and prevent contamination, while a mobile biosafety lab at KNH supports other patient tests.

Lead poisoning can go unnoticed until serious harm is done, especially in children. It can come from everyday sources, including contaminated water, peeling paint and some cosmetics.

Watch this video to learn how to reduce exposure and protect your family.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape healthcare globally, Nigeria has an opportunity to harness these advances to improve how healthcare is delivered, financed and accessed.

At the Artificial Intelligence in Health Summit 2026, held in Abuja on 19–20 October, Nigeria Health Watch joined stakeholders from government, healthcare, technology and development to examine what it will take to make AI work for Nigeria’s health system.

Health misinformation can influence treatment decisions, undermine trust in health workers and put lives at risk. Countering it requires more than correcting false claims. It demands clear communication, credible evidence and an understanding of the people we serve.

Today, we explored these issues at our Health Professionals Communication and Advocacy Learning Programme.

With new data offering a clearer picture of Nigeria’s progress against malaria, the focus now turns to how that evidence can shape the country’s next steps.

Today, we were at the launch of the 2025 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey (NMIS) and the National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) 2026–2030, hosted by @NMEPNigeria.

Public funding for healthcare only makes a difference when people understand how it works and what it means for the care they receive.

As conversations around the @TheBHCPF continue, Nigerians need to know not just that the fund exists, but how it is meant to support their local health centres and what to look out for when they seek care.

If you don’t have your #FHC2026 seat booked now, I wondered where else you would rather be on 29 Oct.

Especially if you work in the health sector and the future of health care in Nigeria means something to you.

Book now. See you next week Thursday.

Preparedness doesn't begin when an outbreak starts.

The 2026 Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak offers an important reminder of why research systems, financing, clinical trial capacity and partnerships must be built before they are needed.

The latest Lassa Lens Initiative Newsletter explores what this means for epidemic preparedness in West Africa, and how the Lassa Fever Coalition is helping build regional readiness.

Africa CDC Director-General Dr Jean Kaseya is calling for urgent international support following confirmation of an Ebola Bundibugyo case in Nigeria, warning that the outbreak poses a growing regional threat.

In a statement issued on October 20, Kaseya called for flexible funding, medical supplies, diagnostic capacity and trained responders to strengthen the response across affected countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Kenya, while Uganda maintains heightened vigilance.

He urged the international community to act swiftly, stressing that containing Ebola in Africa is essential to protecting global health.

Artificial intelligence can help public health experts identify potential disease outbreaks, analyse complex medical data and explore possible treatments. But how do we ensure that these tools support good decisions rather than replace the human judgement needed to make them?

At #WHS2026 in Berlin, a panel discussion on preparing future public health leaders explored why technical knowledge alone is not enough.

Our latest dispatch looks at why human judgement remains essential as #AI becomes more integrated into public health, and why stronger health systems are needed to turn information into responsible action.
