A right to basic #healthcare means that the government is morally obligated to do all within its means to ensure that medically necessary care is accessible and affordable to all.

Today is World Polio Day. 🟢
Polio is a highly contagious virus that attacks the nervous system and can cause muscle weakness and lifelong paralysis. It mostly spreads through food and water contaminated with infected stool.
People with no symptoms can shed the virus for weeks, so outbreaks stay hidden until paralysis appears.
Vaccines protect children from paralysis, and every child under five needs all their doses, including during campaign rounds. A missed dose leaves a gap the virus can use.
Check your child’s immunisation card today. If a dose is missing, take them to your nearest health facility. When the vaccinators come to your street, open the door.
Share this with a parent who needs to see it.

On Thursday, ISMPH joined the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Mandate Health Empowerment Initiative (MHEI) at the Stakeholders’ Roundtable to mark World Mental Health Day 2026.
She also reminded us that awareness is not enough. Nigeria’s Mental Health Act 2021 needs to be properly implemented, discriminatory laws and practices need to change, and quality mental healthcare has to be affordable and within reach through primary healthcare.
When the media informs responsibly, society understands better. When society understands better, stigma declines. When stigma declines, more Nigerians can seek help and live with dignity.
Every voice counts. Every life matters.

Congratulations to Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu on her inauguration as President of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
Today’s swearing-in is a proud moment for Nigeria, for Africa, and for everyone working in cancer care around the world.
Our Executive Director, Chief Moji Makanjuola MFR, FNIPR, spoke on the panel “How AI and Community-Led Innovation Can Build Trust and Improve Health Outcomes” at the Artificial Intelligence in Health Summit 2026.
The conversation was about a simple point: AI in health only works when the communities it serves have a say in how it is built and used. Trust comes first, and technology follows.
Thank you to the Vaccine Network for Disease Control and the Africa Hub for Innovation & Development for convening the summit, and to fellow panelists and attendees for a lively exchange.

Today is Nigeria Reputation Day.
Nigeria is a country of 200 million people with stories the world rarely hears in full. Our music, our food, our fashion, our innovation, our resilience. All of it is ours to tell.
Reputation is built on one story at a time, and we all have a part in it. Share what is true. Celebrate what is working. Speak about Nigeria the way you want the world to speak about her.
Proudly Nigerian. Proudly United.
What is one thing about Nigeria you want the world to know? Tell us in the comments.
