In 2019, we launched the #TurnNigeriaOrange campaign, a strategy for our National #InfectionPreventionandControl programme, with an overarching goal to support, establish & mentor a network of healthcare facilities across Nigeria to serve as centres of excellence for #IPC.
Yesterday, the #NCDCTeam joined the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, a centre of excellence in the #OrangeNetwork to commemorate the #WorldHandHygieneDay2022.
We continue to work with health facilities in the network to consolidate the milestones recorded so far.

Drug-resistant bacterial infections: We need urgent action and investment that focus on the weakest link
In a world of multiple crises, the momentum to tackle drug-resistant bacterial infections must not fall further behind. A renewed focus is needed on global infection prevention and control strategies, which are lagging behind in many countries, diagnosis…
Viral Haemorrhagic Fevers such as #LassaFever spread mainly from person to person through direct & indirect contact.
When properly done, #HandHygiene is very important to reduce the risk of healthcare workers' infection.
