Cholera outbreaks can be prevented when communities are prepared. In Jigawa, with support from @SecGTFCC, the @IFRC, @nrcs_ng and partners led by the State Government are training local teams to spot high-risk areas early, improve coordination and help protect millions of people.

Great meeting today with John G. Robinson, Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in #Cameroon, at the @IFRC office. We discussed humanitarian priorities in Cameroon and the strong partnership between the U.S. Embassy and IFRC. Looking forward to strengthening our collaboration.

[Adesh Tripathee @AdeshTripathee]

Very pleased to support innovative approach to strengthening municipal ownership and commitment, in implementing Cameroon’s Cholera Control Plan. Congratulations to the Government of Cameroon, especially @MINSANTECMR, together with partners & @SecGTFCC, towards ending cholera.

In an era of harmful information, truth & trust matter more than ever. The @IFRC World Disaster Report offers powerful insights-explore the Interactive Playbook : https://t.co/UglCTLsiMK. In Cameroon, we’re putting the Community Trust Index into action in Food Insecurity Response

[Adesh Tripathee @AdeshTripathee]

Cameroon is facing a fast‑escalating food insecurity. Over 3 million people are already in acute food insecurity—and the outlook is worsening. The IFRC has launched an Appeal for 9.6M CHF to support the most affected families.

In response to last week’s killings in Kwara State, @nrcs_ng teams are on the ground providing emergency first aid, supporting dignified burials, and assessing urgent humanitarian needs with authorities and partners

[Muhammad Ali Pate @muhammadpate]

Under the steady-handed leadership of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, @officialABAT, our public health system is being strengthened, repositioned, and equipped for a 21st century that is certain to continue ushering in various levels of globalized health threats and emergencies, which our nation, at all levels of government, will be prepared for with the actions we are presently taking.

Disease surveillance and response would be entirely untenable without institutional cohesion between federal and subnational entities in the sector, and this is why the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control @NCDCgov operates effectively within the Sector-Wide Approach (#SWAp) framework of the Federal Ministry of Health & Social Welfare @Fmohnigeria.

The NCDC has operationalized the Nigeria Preparedness and Readiness Alert System (#NPRAS)—a predictive risk-based platform for decision-making, while conducting structured risk assessments in 8 vulnerable states to inform subnational hazard profiles and achieve comprehensive donor alignment.

Aside from the provision of new disease surveillance and response infrastructure, over 325 Infection Prevention and Control (#IPC) focal persons from 95 tertiary hospitals and 214 secondary facilities nationwide are currently undergoing structured training to become certified IPC professionals, which serves as a major boost to Nigeria’s health security workforce.

I am pleased to share further insight into the present and future development of Nigeria’s rapidly evolving health security sub-sector in this briefing from my desk.

[Adesh Tripathee @AdeshTripathee]

Sincere thanks to @TC_YaoundeBE & @Kizilay for donating humanitarian articles to @CroixRougeCam, a strong gesture of solidarity that will help protect families affected by emergencies.
Together, we stand ready to support communities in times of need.

Stronger teams mean safer, healthier communities and smarter, evidence-based responses.

With @ifrc support, @NepalRedCross builds WASH infrastructure shoulder to shoulder with earthquake-affected mountain communities themselves to guarantee their access to clean water at the household level. https://t.co/dtvyDXl2q5
