Proud Partners in Progress for Africa’s Newborns!

We’re proud to be part of the NEST360 alliance, supporting government-led efforts to reduce neonatal mortality through a multipronged, systems-based approach, combining technology, training, and data-driven action.

The newly released interim impact report compares neonatal care across 65 hospitals in four countries (2022 vs. 2024)—and the results are exciting!

📉 Facilities recorded notable reductions in newborn deaths, driven by expanded access to CPAP, Kangaroo Mother Care, phototherapy, and improved quality of care.

But we’re just getting started.

Phase 2 is coming—scaling up from 65 to 144 hospitals, with Ethiopia joining as a new partner country. Together, we’re driving toward one bold goal: Saving 1 million newborn lives each year across sub-Saharan Africa.

It's the little things that make the greatest impact, a fact known all too well by our Director of New Business Development & Non-Communicable Diseases, Dr. Olabanjo Ogunsola.

In this series, "What I Learnt AFTER Joining the Healthcare Space", he shares how seemingly small interventions like hand hygiene and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) can make a big difference in reducing neonatal mortality and improving health outcomes across Africa.

At APIN, we’re proud to work with NEST360 to champion these often-overlooked practices—because when consistently applied, they hold the power to save lives, especially those of our newborns.

Our Strategic Information Directorate recently concluded its Annual Program Review Meeting in Abuja, bringing together North Central state teams and HQ staff for a dynamic 5-day session of brainstorming, learning, and strategic planning.

Held under the theme “Harnessing Innovative Technologies for Smart Data Management and Improved Health Outcomes,” the meeting explored a range of innovations, from simple tools to complex digital health systems, focusing on data quality, health informatics, and systems integration to drive greater program impact.

From interactive discussions and hands-on data analytics sessions to insightful presentations on research and business development, it was a week filled with collaboration, learning, and renewed energy for the work ahead.

World Blood Donor Day was on the 14th of June, and we have been busy ever since.

As longstanding partners of the National Blood Service Agency (NBSA) and champions for voluntary blood donations, APIN spent most of the month of June spreading the awareness on this all too important issue and advocating for safe blood and blood products to be made readily available at our supported facilities.

Watch this video to see how our staff pushed for voluntary blood donation! We hope it inspires you not only to join the campaign but to help save lives by giving the gift of blood!

Remember, just one pint can save a life!

We’re back from two impactful days at the 2025 Africa Digital Health Summit (ADHS) in Lagos — energized, inspired, and ready to do more!

As proud sponsors of Track 3, we shared insights from our work driving strategic stakeholder engagement in the health sector, especially with government partners, to build strong national leadership for digital health transformation.

To set the tone for our panel, our CEO, Prof. Prosper Okonkwo, spotlighted APIN’s commitment to championing government-led digital health initiatives within Nigeria’s HIV response, with the Phis3project as a key example.

During the session, Dr. Olabanjo Ogunsola, our Director of New Business Development & Non-Communicable Diseases, joined fellow panelists to explore:
✅ The importance of national leadership in digital health strategy
✅ Sustainable collaboration among government, partners, and implementers
✅ PHIS3’s role in driving integration and interoperability across systems

We were honored to receive an Award of Recognition for our support and contribution to the success of the 5th Annual Digital Health Summit!

Thank you to all the brilliant minds who shared invaluable insights. We're leaving ADHS 2025 more committed than ever to strengthening digital health systems in Nigeria and beyond.

Not every fever is caused by malaria.

Today, alongside our partners — RTI International, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, and Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital — we shared key findings from the Surveillance of Acute Febrile Illness Aetiologies in Nigeria (SAFIAN) Study, a groundbreaking effort to uncover the hidden causes of acute febrile illness (AFI) in Nigeria.

From August 2023 to September 2024, the study enrolled 1,200 patients at UATH (FCT) and ISTH (Edo State). Using advanced diagnostic tools, SAFIAN identified multiple infectious pathogens — including one never before recorded in humans in Nigeria, yet as common as Plasmodium spp. (malaria).

These findings were disseminated to key public health stakeholders — including the Federal Ministry of Health Nigeria, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, U.S. CDC Nigeria, and implementing partners — to inform stronger surveillance systems and better diagnosis and treatment of febrile illnesses often misdiagnosed or overlooked.

👏 Kudos to the SAFIAN team for pushing the boundaries of public health research!

Most of the time, health facilities evoke a feeling of hope.

You just know that visiting and seeing a healthcare worker is the start of getting better. But what happens when health facilities become sources of infection themselves?

Without proper Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices, health facilities can quickly go from offering care and relief to becoming hotbeds for disease transmission.

In partnership with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control for Disease Control (NCDC), we supported health facilities to identify gaps in IPC knowledge and practices, especially among frontline health workers.

Together, we developed practical SOPs and protocols tailored to each facility’s needs, helping institutionalize IPC for the long haul.

We also set up handwashing stations and provided essential hygiene supplies like handwash and sanitizer—making it easier for both clients and staff to practice .

We continue to work with our supported facilities to ensure that even staff at the lowest cadres understand the importance of adhering strictly to IPC measures because no one should get sicker just by walking into a place meant to heal them.

At APIN, we’re always in motion—whether it’s expanding HIV testing, enrolling more people living with HIV on treatment, or ensuring remote health facilities never run out of life-saving antiretrovirals.
But behind every quick decision and targeted intervention is our Health Informatics (HI) team, quietly powering the engine of data-driven healthcare. From building tools that help us track granular health data across all our project sites to optimizing how we manage and analyze that information, they make it possible to act fast—and smart.

Last week, select HI focal persons spent 3 intense days in a Training of Trainers (TOT) workshop, sharpening their skills in NMRS optimization, reporting, data management, and commodity tracking. They'll be cascading this knowledge across our states—ensuring that we continue to deliver smarter, stronger health systems every day.

In Benue State, APIN is training community HIV testers to strengthen service delivery where it matters most—at the grassroots.

As we work hard to identify people living with HIV and link them to care, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing numbers. But impact isn’t just about volume—it’s about HOW we serve.

This training emphasizes ethical, client-centered HIV Testing Services (HTS), ensuring testers deliver care that’s confidential, responsive, and aligned with national standards.

From counseling to documentation, quality assurance to data use—participants are gaining the tools to deliver services that are both effective and empathetic.

Because getting it right means doing it right.
