The Centre will significantly strengthen the country’s capacity to manage infectious diseases and response to outbreaks.
Speaking during the official commissioning and handover ceremony, the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, said, “This project commenced over a year ago, as part of the commitment of the Federal Government to providing the necessary infrastructure and resources for infectious disease management, through the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
“With laboratory testing and case management in one location, there is much shorter time between sample collection and infection confirmation, which ensures early initiation of treatment and thus mitigate mortality during infectious disease outbreaks.“The improvement of health security infrastructure does not stop in the Federal Capital Territory.
“I will also lay the foundation stone for the Mental Health Block, a 76-bed block which, when completed, will have facilities for specialised therapies; an emergency area; consulting, psychotherapy and seminar rooms; and a pharmacy.”
