Nigeria

Persistent armed conflict by and with Boko Haram in North-Eastern Nigeria is resulting in widespread displacements, food insecurity, and many victims of violence. Displacement away from infrastructure leads to poor sanitation, water-borne diseases and an increased risk of communicable diseases.

Health sector partners are supporting the urgent need for primary care services and secondary care including essential medicines, care for pregnant mothers and infants, and outbreak control. Malaria is endemic to Nigeria, and makes up a large proportion of all consultations. Outbreaks of Acute Watery Diarrhea, when added to high rates of malnutrition, are very dangerous and require immediate response and resources. Work towards the eradication of polio is a high priority in Nigeria.
