To support the @ZamfaraGovt tackling the ongoing cholera outbreak, @WHO has donated lifesaving cholera kits and medical supplies to aid the treatment of cholera patients across the state. Timely rehydration and appropriate treatment are key to preventing severe complications and reducing death rates.

Great start of my day today as I paid courtesy call to H.E. Yu Dunhai Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, accompanied by my team @WHONigeria. We took the opportunity to present our Country Cooperation Strategy, which describes our interventions in health sector in support of the Government agenda. I appreciate the great insight provided by H.E. and do welcome his offer for partnership with @WHO to address more pressing needs at a time when multilateralism is being tested. I look forward to engaging my team with their Chinese counterparts to take our collaboration to the next level. @DrTedros @UN_Nigeria

Today, the world mourns the passing of President Jimmy Carter of the United States of America, a leader whose life was a testament to service, humility, and an unwavering commitment to humanity. For us in Nigeria, and indeed across Africa, his contributions were not just distant policies but direct interventions that saved lives, transformed communities, and inspired generations.

President Carter’s relentless fight against diseases such as Guinea worm and river blindness through The Carter Center will forever remain etched in the annals of global health advocacy. His work reached into some of the most marginalized and vulnerable communities in Africa, demonstrating that leadership transcends borders when driven by compassion.

In Nigeria, his initiatives brought hope and relief to countless citizens. Through his advocacy and the empowerment of local systems, he provided tools for sustainable development. Beyond health, his deep-seated belief in democracy and justice resonated with those fighting for freedom and equality worldwide.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the American people, and all who cherished his profound legacy. May he rest in peace, having fought the good fight and finished his race with grace. -PO

On #WorldHealthDay, let's commit to prioritising #HealthForAll. 🌍

This year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.

What steps will you take to support access to health in your community?

[W. Kazadi Mulombo @WMulombo]

Today is the World Health Day and @WHO 76th Anniversary. We remember and re emphasize the principles that underpinned its establishment: Health is a fundamental human right and not a privilege. @UN_Nigeria @Fmohnigeria @NphcdaNG @NCDCgov @NhisNg
