Doctors demand accountability in Nigeria. Kidnappings, negligence, and crumbling infrastructure push health workers to the brink.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) on Thursday revealed that the country has recorded 798 confirmed cases and 80 deaths from diphtheria.
Nigeria gets a £2 million grant from the United Kingdom to boost the health workforce. Implementation of the grant will focus on Cross River, Enugu, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, and Lagos states.
Cholera cases surge in Nigeria, with Cross River state reporting 70 per cent of the cumulative cases and 50 per cent of all cholera deaths.
