The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) says Nigeria is strengthening its preparedness for public health emergencies through enhanced collaboration, coordination and strategic planning.
The agency said this on its official x handle on Wednesday.
According to it, the agency convened stakeholders for a National Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Preparedness Tabletop Simulation Exercise aimed at testing national and subnational readiness for a potential Ebola outbreak.
It said that the exercise assessed coordination mechanisms, incident management systems, risk communication, healthcare worker protection, and multi-sectoral response strategies through progressive simulation scenarios designed to strengthen decision-making under evolving public health risks.
It also said that the engagement provided an opportunity to identify preparedness gaps, reinforce partnerships, and develop actionable improvement plans to enhance Nigeria’s capacity for early detection and rapid response to EVD and other public health threats.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak has become the largest ever recorded, with more than 1,400 confirmed cases and more than 400 deaths across Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda.
