The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has issued a public health advisory warning of the impending peak season for Lassa fever and cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM), sparking concerns over potential outbreaks across the country.
The Director General of NCDC, Jide Idris, issued this warning during a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr Idris stated that the peak season, which typically occurs between December and June, poses significant health risks, particularly in regions with poor sanitation, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and vulnerable populations.
