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.
