Every year, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Technical Working Group joins the global community to raise awareness of the dangers of misuse or overuse of #antimicrobials.

Fighting #AMR is a global endeavour that must be addressed through a #OneHealth approach as evident in this year's theme of #WAAW2023: ‘Preventing #AntimicrobialResistance together”

Learning from the last pandemic, it is evident that our country needs a robust health security infrastructure with an emphasis on:

➡️Prevention
➡️Disease surveillance
➡️Preparedness and response capabilities.

Nigeria's Pandemic Fund application cuts across strengthening #OneHealth workforce, early warning and surveillance and laboratory systems.

A #OneHealth approach to disease prevention recognises that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment.

By protecting one, we help protect all!

#OneHealthNigeria

Last Friday, the National One Health Technical Committee (NOHTC) brought together key stakeholders across human, animal, and environmental health to:

✅ Review progress on previous action points
✅ Share updates on ongoing programmes and current outbreaks
✅ Align strategies to strengthen Nigeria’s health security through coordinated, multisectoral action

Together, we’re advancing a resilient, data-driven OneHealth system for prevention, preparedness, and response.

Today, we commemorate #World One Health Day — a reminder that the health of humans, animals and our environment are interconnected.
On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to collaborative action for disease prevention and a safer healthier world.

Not all fever is malaria. #LassaFever can start with mild symptoms but may become severe if not treated early. Early detection and treatment save lives!!

✅ Protect yourself and loveones by:

* Keeping your home and surroundings clean
* Keep rodents out of your home
