The #WorldHepatitisDay theme this year, Invest in Eliminating Hepatitis, is a timely reminder that this disease can be eliminated by 2030 with adequate resources & strong political commitment.

Pre-#WorldTBDay2019 Media Conference: It's time to talk about Tb in our drive to #EndTB and have a #TBFreeNigeria.

Thank you for your visit Dr. Hala Zaid, #Egypt's Minister of Health. @WHO commends 🇪🇬's efforts to eliminate #Hepatitis C, which @_AfricanUnion countries can learn from. We also commend the President's commitment to the 100 million healthy Egyptians campaign. #HealthForAll

2019 Pre-World TB day media conference. Theme: IT'S TIME - To end TB in Nigeria. Keep the promise! Find TB! Treat TB!

The TB programme will benefit immensely from the efficiencies that exist in the private sector. This is a long overdue meeting.

Universal health coverage is ultimately a political choice. It is the responsibility of every country and national government to pursue it

National Coordinator of TB Programme discussing the relevance of the private sector in TB control #EndTBinNigeria

Do you know it’s a crime for parents to keep their children away from immunization? #SupportImmunization

Insecticide-based vector control is a cornerstone of #malaria responses worldwide, but growing insecticide resistance is a threat. What does the data tell us & how do we fight back? Join @WHO and @ImperialCollege in a webinar today at 15pm CET (Geneva): bit.ly/2K0imzV

Nothing is too ambitious when it's about saving lives! - Dr Wondi Alemu @alemuw1 @Whonigeria Representative. The outgoing GF portfolio manager Tomas Hatem, introduces the incoming PM for Nigeria, Dr Ibrahima Faria.

Blood is Life; it transport oxygen & nutrients to the body cells & body waste products from it. In Nigeria, an estimated 1.8million units of blood is needed annually. Imagine the number of deaths this could prevent. Be there for someone. Give Blood. Share Life. @RMpazanje

Monitoring therapeutic efficacy of recommended antimalarias is an important component of malaria surveillance. @WHONigeria support the Nigeria Institute of Medical Research and @nmcpnigeria during a 3-day activation workshop for the sentinel study team for Kano, Enugu and Plateau

@ozor_lynda @Drtoluarowolo @WHONigeria @mokuolu_01 @folaton @alemuw1 @DrOluwafunke @remikushy @RMpazanje @CWarigon @bmafolabi I believe prevention is better than cure. The LGAs health inspectors should take the initiative supported by WHO to compel residents to clear the gutters in front of their houses. That is the place of abode of mosquitoes. If there are no stagnant water, where else can they breed?

@Drtoluarowolo @WHONigeria @mokuolu_01 @folaton @alemuw1 @DrOluwafunke @remikushy @RMpazanje @CWarigon @bmafolabi Doctors are trusted with health issues and should be ambassadors for malaria. Great job for the continuous awareness and dialogue aimed at combating malaria and it's effects
