Says @dr_dadari, addressing global immunization in #pas2026:
GAVI is looking to reach 500 million kids by 2030. If achieved, we can reach 5.8 million kids - if we do the right things. If we don’t, lives will be lost.
Backed by the visionary and bold leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT), GCFR, I am deeply honored to share that Nigeria’s ongoing health sector reform, under the Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII) has received global recognition, as I have been named to @TIME’s list of the 100 Most #Time100 Influential People in Global Health, released today. Proud to also have been named along with the Director of Nutrition in the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare @Fmohnigeria, Dr. (Mrs) Ladidi K. Bako-Aiyegbusi.
