Hospitals are places of care, not confrontation.

In line with concerns raised by @aproko_doctor, we reiterate that health facilities must remain safe spaces for care delivery at all times.

Disruptions in hospitals endanger patients, health workers, and trust in the system. #Healthworkers are #NotATarget

A few minutes of boiling can prevent days of sickness.

Safe drinking water is essential for healthy families and communities, yet harmful germs in untreated water are often invisible to the eye. Boiling water is a simple and effective way to make it safer for drinking and reduce the risk of waterborne diseases.

What happens when those who care for us are no longer safe?

In Nigeria, rising insecurity, alongside strikes & workforce shortages, is disrupting services & widening dangerous gaps in care.

In this piece via @BusinessDayNg, @S_0ko02 & @DrAdachi_ examine what this means for health outcomes: https://t.co/ymhYU2nmtT

It is a delight to be in Kenya as the World Health Summit Regional Meeting in Nairobi comes to a close.

Africa Health Watch has followed key conversations on health sovereignty, financing, manufacturing, regulation, broader transformation of Africa's health systems and each of these topics has reinforced the need to move from ambition to implementation.

It was an insightful convening and we look forward to seeing the impact and outcomes that will emerge from #WHSRMNairobi2026.

Malaria in pregnancy remains preventable, yet too many women in Nigeria start protection without completing it.

Behind every healthcare visit is a real story, and those experiences reveal what’s working and where gaps remain in our primary healthcare system.

When communities are heard, better solutions become possible.

Share your story. Your voice can help drive change.

@BSAT_Properties So let me get this straight �� the police can confirm that the car is mine, registered to me, not stolen… but suddenly the generator inside my own car becomes suspicious because I didn’t laminate my receipt and frame it on the dashboard? 🤣

Valentine’s Day sells romance, but it should also demand responsibility.

In this #NHWPost, @Toriie_Z & @bakare_yasir sample the voices of Nigerian youths on contraception and some barriers that continue to push them away from protection.

Nigeria may be free of wild poliovirus, but the battle is far from over.

In some states in northern Nigeria, communities are proving that when trusted voices lead the conversation, doors open and children get protected. This article shows how royal endorsements, religious leaders, and local CSO mobilisers in Bauchi and Kebbi States turned long-standing resistance into acceptance.

A twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could shift the HIV landscape in Nigeria. But without deliberate action on access, affordability, and delivery, innovation will not reach those who need it most.

In this #NHWPost, @olikendrick_ & @S_0ko02 make the case for why access, affordability, and delivery must be prioritised now if twice-yearly lenacapavir is to strengthen Nigeria’s HIV prevention response.

Nigeria has joined the global “2026 is the new 2016” wave, but in health, the déjà vu stops being funny.

In this #NHWPost, Shalom David & @EnemaPrudence reflect on why healthcare reforms must finally be funded, implemented, and enforced to move Nigeria from 2016 to 2026.

When Nigerians have to pay in cash to treat chronic illness, it becomes a cruel choice between treatment & daily survival.

In this week’s #NHWTorchlightSeries, @T@TzarOluigbo explores a hospital-linked fund easing access to care & exposing why lasting health financing reform cannot wait.
