This was made apparent by the National AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and STIs Control Programme’s (NASCP’s) robust health sector response to HIV, as well as its nationwide efforts towards the elimination of vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis from mothers to children.
The national coordinator of NASCP, Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Dr Adebobola Bashorun, who disclosed this in the programme’s quarterly news nugget, said that NASCP has also launched the National Data Repository (NDR) database Analytics Workspace (NAWS), a revolutionary software developed for data-driven decision-making in the field of public health which enables users to perform complex data analysis with ease and efficiency.
“NASCP’s consistent monitoring and supervising of state-specific frameworks, which the honourable commissioners of health have endorsed in 36 states and the FCT,” she said.
