Welcome to the Nigerian Conference of Applied and Field Epidemiology!

"The last one year has presented us with lessons to build from, ranging from strengthening risk communication to building our laboratory and diagnostics capacity, governance and leadership and surveillance.

We have to think together to use these lessons learnt to prepare for future public health emergency response."

-Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, NCDC Director General in his welcome address

#NiCAFE2021
Goodwill message:

"On the African continent, the pandemic has indeed exposed critical gaps in our health system abilities.

We need to review lessons learnt so far in order to inform future public health responses.

We as the World Health Organisation will continue to support countries including Nigeria to #BuildBackBetter"

- Dr Walter K. Mulombo, World Health Organization (WHO)
Goodwill message:

"Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has been a leading light in the response against the #COVID19 pandemic.

Through solidarity, collaboration, coordination and communication, I believe the region is better prepared to continue to fight the pandemic and for future health security threats"

- Prof Stanley Okolo, Director General, West African Health Organization

#NiCAFE2021
Goodwill message:

"As we have learnt from the #COVID19 pandemic, public health workforce is a cornerstone of a country’s health security.

Our work together to strengthen routine immunization programmes, has supported the #COVID19 response and vaccination programme in Nigeria. A strong example of building back better"

- Dr. Rebecca Martin, Director Center for Global Health, CDC

#NiCAFE2021
Sharing her experience from the roll out of the Surveillance Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System (SORMAS) in strengthening electronic surveillance systems for better epidemic intelligence in Nigeria:

"SORMAS was deployed in 18 states even before the emergence of #COVID19.

The deployment of SORMAS in all states in Nigeria has been useful in the digitalisation of the #COVID19 response"

~ Dr Lois Olajide, Head of SORMAS division, NCDC

#NiCAFE2021
"Research is very important to inform decision making for case management and public health response.

We have to ensure effective collaboration to overcome research challenges such as lack of belief in local researchers and scientists; funding for research, procurement roadblock e.t.c"

Nigeria's preparedness for clinical trials, vaccine research and development
