Nigeria: COVID-19 exacerbates poor access to healthcare

In Nigeria, poor access to healthcare has been exacerbated by COVID-19 and when a pandemic like COVID-19 takes up much of the Ministry of Health resources, this means that other activities like vaccinations against preventable diseases have been deprioritised.

In northwest Nigeria, MSF teams are concerned about a possible measles outbreak which is evolving, and with the rainy season, cases of malaria are increasing.
