Climate change in Nigeria has reduced air quality and worsened air pollution, increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases among citizens, according to the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Mohammad Pate, a professor.
He said this on Thursday at the Future of Health Conference 2024, organised by the Nigeria Health Watch, a non-profit focused on public health communications and advocacy.
It is an annual event aimed at providing solutions to the challenges in the health sector and advocating for policy action to ensure that all Nigerians have access to quality and affordable healthcare.
