We are excited to be joining the conversation at the Nigeria Health Watch Conference under the theme “From Evidence to Action: Building Resilience at the Climate-Health Nexus.” At the intersection of health and climate change, we are committed to developing innovative, data-driven solutions that strengthen community resilience, particularly for vulnerable populations. This conference aligns with our mission to enhance public health outcomes and tackle misinformation, as well as our ongoing partnerships aimed at driving sustainable impact in underserved areas. 🎥 Here’s a sneak peek from our MD Chijioke Kaduru , discussing how our work from generating evidence against the direct consequences or effects of climate change, infectious diseases or mental health or some indirect effects of extreme weather events fits into the broader dialogue on resilience and adaptation. Stay tuned for insights, and let’s turn evidence into action! #ClimateHealth #Resilience #PublicHealth #NigeriaHealthWatch #SustainableSolutions #CMS

After 5 weeks of exposure to basic concepts of infectious disease modelling, our Cohort 3 Fellows concluded their Beginners’ Phase of the Nigeria Malaria Modelling Fellowship on Friday, 11th October, 2024. Mrs Baker Muibat Omolola reflects on her journey so far: ‘From mastering the basics of using R for infectious disease modelling - to now developing her own model’. #MalariaModelling #InfectiousDisease #PublicHealth #DiseaseModelling #Epidemiology #RProgramming #MicrosoftExcel #SIRModel #HealthInnovation #GlobalHealth #Fellowship #MalariaResearch #STEMEducation #DataScience #Healthcare #MathematicalModelling #EpidemicControl #ResearchAndDevelopment #HealthImpact #capacitybuilding

Last week was a really enriching experience, with modellers and epidemiologists at the World Health Organization hub for pandemic and epidemic intelligence, engaging on the evaluation of public health analytics. Working together with colleagues leading the The Lancet commission on modelling and colleagues from the public sector, academia, private non-profit, and from the hub as well, it felt like an important push in deepening the role and utility of advanced analytics and modelling to support epidemic and pandemic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. *Please be on the look out for the Collaboratory!* During our conversations last week, two of our main priorities revolved around navigating clearer, transparent, and standardised reporting of modelling outputs in scientific publications and trying to establish the key criteria and lenses through which the impact of advanced analytics and modelling can be evaluated. The kind of conversations that even you would enjoy :) The biggest take aways for me interestingly revolved around the very different landscape of outbreaks around the world. For many of my colleagues, the contexts shaping their interests and concerns were largely about preventing or responding better to the next pandemic. And yet there were some of us who are part of routine round the year battles with cholera, measles, meningitis, Lassa fever, diphtheria, and many more. Some of us focus on the one health lens and are routinely grappling the risks of spillovers of infectious diseases and some others are grappling with endemic diseases including NTDs. We clearly cannot keep working in isolation and the hub is indeed providing the kind of leadership that brings us together, despite those differences. Through it all, consensus remains that advanced analytics and modelling are a key tool in a world where empirical data systems remain fraught with challenges and where climate change and other changes to biodiversity are shaping the landscape of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. And so even as we echo that all models are wrong, we will keep reminding the community that some of them are useful. Where a model can help save lives, we indeed have a responsibility to build and use them! Ultimately, our commitment must not waver as we strengthen local capacity on the continent to build and use models. We really cannot take our eyes off the opportunities that this unlocks around efforts to prevent, prepare, respond, and recover from outbreaks. We just have to keep pushing on this and on all other fronts! A visit to Berlin of course means a visit to my boss and big brother who has been there through the years, always providing guidance and mentorship. Thank you for everything Chief Chikwe Ihekweazu And a big thank you to all the colleagues who made this happen… Sheetal Silal Corona Management Systems (CMS)

We will keep working across borders and stakeholders, to leverage advanced analytics and modelling to support public health decision-making. The World Health Organization Collaboratory is indeed a unique opportunity for learning and collaboration on this journey!

Across Nigeria, community engagement is transforming the lives of zero-dose children, with real progress driven by dedicated community health workers and targeted outreach in underserved areas like the urban slums of Kano. Through our community-centered approach, in partnership with the Sabin Vaccine Institute, children like Ibrahim, Hadiza, Ahmad, and Zainab are finally receiving the life-saving immunisations they need. This is the power of perseverance, collaboration, and the unwavering commitment of local communities. Together, we can overcome the zero-dose challenge and secure a healthier future for all.
