The medical experts brainstormed on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and other disease outbreaks at the maiden edition of the Nigerian Conference of Applied and Field Epidemiology (NiCAFE).

The theme of this year’s NiCAFE conference was “Building back better: COVID-19 and other disease outbreaks”.
