NCDC: N10bn strengthens broader health security, not just for Ebola

The NCDC says the N10 billion released by the Federal Government is to strengthen Nigeria’s overall health security system against multiple diseases, not just for Ebola preparedness. Director-General Dr Jide Idris noted that this amount is only about 2% of the N104.4 billion average annual cost of the NAPHS 2.0 plan for 2025-2029.
