The funding will support initiatives such as maternal and child health programs, disease prevention efforts, and training for healthcare professionals. Officials from the Nigerian government, health experts, and representatives from the foundation attended the agreement signing ceremony.
Dr. Walter Mulombo, WHO’s representative in Nigeria, emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving sustainable health improvements. He noted that this partnership would significantly aid Nigeria’s fight against health issues and strengthen its healthcare infrastructure.
