Handing over the items to the state commissioner for Health and Human Resources, Prof Mallam Baba Gana in Maiduguri to bolster health and nutrition services to the people, WHO country representative, Dr Walter Kazadi Mulombo, said the donation marked a significant step in the ongoing partnership with the Borno State government in improving the health and well-being of most vulnerable population, especially children under five years.

“We are here to officially hand over essential medical and nutrition commodities to bolster health and nutrition services in Borno State. This timely contribution is poised to mitigate the heightened morbidity associated with the lean season, thereby reducing maternal and child mortality rates across the state,” the WHO country representative said.

He noted that in 2023, WHO supported the state government in reaching over 1.6 million vulnerable populations, including children 0 -59 months, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and adolescent girls with critical interventions, including Malaria treatment services, multiple micronutrient supplementation for pregnant mothers, Vitamin A and deworming for children and deworming across hard-to-reach locations.
