In January this year, NCDC launched the #OrangeNetworkproject to support selected health facilities in #Nigeria become centres of excellence on infection prevention & control over a five year period.

Strengthening sub-national #HealthSecurity.

“The #COVID19 outbreak presents an opportunity to put infection prevention & control(IPC) on the national agenda like never before. Our goal through the ‘#OrangeNetwork’ is to ensure IPC is an essential part of health care delivery & public health response.” ~ Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, DG NCDC
“Wearing a face mask is way less cumbersome than being on a ventilator. We urge Nigerians not to throw caution to the wind. Together we will win the fight against #COVID19.“ ~ Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, DG NCDC at the daily Press Briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on #COVID19.
