“To all essential workers in Nigeria. You are the pride of our nation. We need you to keep pushing. Please do not give up.”

Watch NCDC Director General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, show appreciation to all workers in Nigeria, and share his experience in leading the #NCDCTeam.

Happy #WorkersDay!!!
As part efforts to reduce the risk of health workers' infection, the #NCDCTeam continues to conduct infection prevention and control trainings in states across Nigeria.

Trainees will transfer these skills to other health workers in their facilities to ensure optimal IPC practices.
Last week, the #NCDCTeam trained military personnel including medical, lab, engineering and kitchen staff from 7 states: Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara, Edo and Oyo.

The exercise focused on demystifying #COVID19 and strengthening surveillance, case reporting, IPC and case management

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.
Seasons greetings Nigerians! 🎄
