PVAC And Partners Advance In Ensuring Nigerians Access Affordable Malaria Diagnostics  And  Medicines


The Presidential Initiative on Unlocking Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC), in collaboration with partners in the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), says the Affordable Diagnostics and Medicines for Malaria (ADMFM) technical team has made significant progress toward ensuring Nigerians have access to affordable, quality malaria treatment and essential commodities.


Speaking during the ADMFM Technical Working Group meeting to align on next steps, PVAC National Coordinator, Dr. Abdu Mukhtar, emphasized the critical importance of malaria as a major public health priority in Nigeria, particularly regarding the supply of essential medicines and diagnostic commodities. He noted that malaria elimination remains a key agenda of the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, under the leadership of the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate.


Dr. Mukhtar added that the government cannot achieve these objectives alone and requires strong collaboration with multiple stakeholders. He stressed that sustainable access to malaria treatment and diagnostics can only be achieved through strategic partnerships with local manufacturers and other key players across the healthcare value chain.


The National Coordinator of the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), Dr. Nnenna Ogbulafor, thanked members of the technical working group and highlighted the project’s importance to vulnerable populations, particularly young children and pregnant women. She noted that collaboration with local manufacturers represents a key strategic approach to ensuring sustainable access to malaria treatment and diagnostic tools.


The ADMFM initiative aims to strengthen Nigeria’s healthcare value chain, improve health outcomes, and contribute to the national goal of malaria elimination.
