“What began as a blog has grown into an organisation helping shape conversations about Nigeria’s health system.”
Reflecting on the journey of @nighealthwatch at #FHC2026, Dr @Chikwe_I traced how knowledge became consciousness, consciousness became advocacy, and advocacy led to building an organisation committed to keeping critical health issues on the public agenda.
His story is a reminder that meaningful change begins with understanding a problem and finding the courage to act on it.

What will it take to end preventable maternal and child deaths in Africa?
Looking back on the closing keynote at #WHS2026, speakers pointed out the challenges that still stand in the way of saving mothers and children in Africa, even though many of the interventions needed to save their lives are already known.
African countries need to adapt, finance, and sustain these interventions so that every woman and newborn receives consistent, high-quality care.

Lead poisoning can go unnoticed until serious harm is done, especially in children. It can come from everyday sources, including contaminated water, peeling paint and some cosmetics.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape healthcare globally, Nigeria has an opportunity to harness these advances to improve how healthcare is delivered, financed and accessed.

Africa’s genetic diversity holds immense potential to shape the future of medicine. But unlocking that potential starts with ensuring African populations are represented in genomic research.
Here is a glimpse of our latest #CuratedConversations with Dr Abasi Ene-Obong, Founder and CEO of Syndicate Bio, as he shares insights on genomic equity, biotechnology and the future of precision medicine in Africa.

Health misinformation can influence treatment decisions, undermine trust in health workers and put lives at risk. Countering it requires more than correcting false claims. It demands clear communication, credible evidence and an understanding of the people we serve.
Today, we explored these issues at our Health Professionals Communication and Advocacy Learning Programme.

With new data offering a clearer picture of Nigeria’s progress against malaria, the focus now turns to how that evidence can shape the country’s next steps.
Today, we were at the launch of the 2025 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey (NMIS) and the National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) 2026–2030, hosted by @NMEPNigeria.

Public funding for healthcare only makes a difference when people understand how it works and what it means for the care they receive.
As conversations around the @TheBHCPF continue, Nigerians need to know not just that the fund exists, but how it is meant to support their local health centres and what to look out for when they seek care.
#KnowYourHealthRights @Fmohnigeria
The Basic Healthcare Provision Fund supports primary healthcare, but do you know what it means for your local health centre and the care they can expect?
Understanding your health rights helps you make use of available services and ask questions when the care you need is out of reach.
