This includes the preparedness, detection and response to public health emergencies, research, training and knowledge management, health promotion and other activities to protect the health of Nigerians.[3]
The NCDC serves as Nigeria’s International Health Regulations National Focal Point and is a member of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes.[6]
