NCDC and partners conduct simulation exercise for Ebola Virus Disease
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has continued to play her public health role as the National focal point for the implementation of International Health Regulations (IHR) in Nigeria. In line with the IIHR Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and our organisational strategic plan, the NCDC works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health England (PHE) and Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL) and other partners to strengthen Nigeria’s emergency preparedness, resilience and response (EPRR) through regular simulation exercises (SimEx). With this, we have continued to fill the gaps identified following the first and mid-term Joint External Evaluation (JEE) of IHR capacities conducted in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
