During Nigeria's COVID-19 response, early detection of low oxygen levels became a critical part of patient care.

Through the Global Fund COVID-19 Response Mechanism, implemented by @NACANigeria, @NTBLCP and partners with support from @GlobalFund, over 7,730 pulse oximeters were distributed, helping health workers monitor patients and provide timely care across Nigeria.

Beyond oxygen supply, supporting patient comfort was also critical to COVID-19 care.

Through the Global Fund COVID-19 Response Mechanism project in Nigeria, implemented by the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP), and partners, with support from the Global Fund, 10,296 humidifiers were distributed to strengthen respiratory care across health facilities.

Leprosy is curable, the real challenge is stigma.

Let’s replace fear with facts, discrimination with compassion, and silence with support.
Together, we can end stigma and end leprosy in Nigeria.
