Closing Primary Care gaps in NCDs prevention and control in Nigeria
The 2025 World Health Day focuses on the importance of maternal and newborn health, under the theme “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures.”
As we marked it, we reflected on the role primary health centres play as one of the most critical components of Nigeria’s healthcare system. These centres are more than just local clinics; they’re the foundation of care for millions, especially for women navigating pregnancy and childbirth.
Stronger primary health centres mean fewer complications during and after pregnancy. They also play a critical role in identifying and managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension and diabetes, both of which can become life-threatening to mothers and their unborn children during pregnancy.
