SANWO-OLU CHARGES STATES ON HIV FUNDING, SUSTAINABILITY AT NATIONAL COUNCIL ON AIDS
..Donor aid is shrinking, Nigeria must take full ownership — Lagos Governor
..Council adopts resolutions to drive subnational domestic financing and treatment access

The 7th National Council on AIDS (NCA), hosted by the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) in collaboration with the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA), has ended with a renewed national resolve to transition from donor dependency to a sustainable, domestically driven HIV response.

Held at the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, and themed “Advancing the National HIV Sustainability Agenda in the Changing Global Policy on Aid”, the three-day gathering brought together delegates from the 36 states and FCT, development partners, civil society, and the private sector to review policy directions and chart a path forward for Nigeria’s HIV response amidst dwindling foreign assistance.

Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who declared the Council closed, described the forum as “a platform of substance and purpose,” adding that the resolutions reached must not end as mere documentation but must be reflected in budgets, legislation, and the lived experiences of Nigerians.

According to the Governor, “As global donor support gradually wanes, our responsibility has become even more pressing: to take full ownership of our national HIV response and build sustainable, resilient systems that can outlast policy shifts and funding cycles.” He emphasized the strategic significance of the Council, stating that it is not just another event but “the highest coordinating platform for shaping the direction of HIV/AIDS policy and programmes across Nigeria.”

The Governor, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat highlighted Lagos’ leadership in integrating HIV services into broader health frameworks, the establishment of the Lagos State HIV Trust Fund, and the ongoing review of the State’s Anti-Stigma Law as proof of action-oriented governance. “Sustainability is not a slogan; it is a strategic priority,” Sanwo-Olu stressed.

Governor Sanwo-Olu called on other states and the Federal Government to institutionalize quarterly inter-SACA review meetings, pass protective laws, and deepen collaboration across sectors. He reminded delegates that “behind every policy is a person and behind every funding decision is a moral obligation to protect lives and promote equity.”

Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, affirmed Lagos’ determination to translate the Council’s resolutions into policy and operational change, especially under the new global aid landscape. “We need to take more ownership of HIV and make its management cheaper, accessible, and integrated,” he said.

Prof. Abayomi also stressed the importance of managing the HIV-TB syndemic and revealed that Lagos has domesticated the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act, with operational guidelines to move HIV care into a pooled funding mechanism through insurance.

He announced Lagos’ pharmaceutical industrial drive at the Lekki Free Trade Zone as a strategic effort to manufacture antiretroviral and diagnostic consumables locally. “We are building a domestic capacity and repository for cheaper HIV drugs,” he declared.

Earlier, the Director General of NACA, Dr. Temitope Ilori, lauded Lagos for its hospitality and governance model. She explained that the NCA remains the statutory policymaking and coordinating platform for Nigeria’s HIV response, especially now that donor funding is phasing out. “This year’s theme is a strategic imperative, reflecting the critical junction at which our national HIV response stands,” she said.

Dr. Ilori emphasized the need for increased domestic funding, stronger sub-national ownership, and multi-sectoral collaboration, including addressing the socio-economic determinants of HIV. “We must adapt, innovate and ensure the resolutions adopted here become our guiding light,” she charged.

Delivering goodwill remarks, Coordinator of Health Assistance for the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Mrs. Jemeh Pius, commended the Council’s deliberations and swift documentation of outcomes. She reaffirmed the U.S. government’s continued partnership in sustaining HIV services in Nigeria.

Pius noted the transition of life-saving programs from USAID to the U.S. Department of State and emphasized the need for countries like Nigeria to plan for gradual reduction of foreign health assistance while sustaining program gains.

On his part, Dr. Murphy Akpu, representative of the United Nations Joint Team on HIV, praised the bold deliberations and progress made. “This is the time for Nigeria to figure out what government-led implementation looks like. We must be accountable for donor and domestic resources alike,” he stated.

He urged states, particularly Lagos, to lead the nation in demonstrating how to deliver impactful and accountable HIV programming within a government framework. “We have saved lives; now let us figure out how to sustain and own these wins,” he concluded.

In her closing remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of LSACA, Dr. Folakemi Animashaun, expressed gratitude to the Lagos State Government for providing strong leadership and to all stakeholders who contributed to the success of the Council.

“Let the resolutions adopted here today translate into policies that protect lives and systems that endure,” she said, urging delegates to leave with a shared sense of urgency and unity to end the HIV epidemic in Nigeria.

The 7th National Council on AIDS concluded with stakeholders recommitting to inclusive, domestically funded, and rights-based strategies to ensure that HIV is no longer a public health threat in Nigeria.

WBW: EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING RATE HITS 57.4% IN LAGOS – GOVT

…State seeks stronger support systems for mothers

…Advocates Early Initiation

As Lagos joins the rest of the world to commemorate Y2025 World Breastfeeding Week, the State said it has recorded a significant milestone in child nutrition with its exclusive breastfeeding rate rising to 57.4%, surpassing the global benchmark of 50%.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Health, Dr. (Mrs.) Kemi Ogunyemi who revealed this on Tuesday during the official press briefing to flag off the Year 2025 World Breastfeeding Week, noted however that the State government is working assiduously to address the 14% low rate of early initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour of birth which poses serious implications for neonatal health.

She explained that the low rate of early initiation, putting babies to breast within one hour of delivery, is primarily due to gaps in service delivery, misinformation, and the use of pre-lacteal feeds like glucose water and infant formula. “When babies miss out on colostrum, which is rich in antibodies, their immunity is compromised from the start,” she said, adding that midwives and birth attendants are being trained to ensure proper initiation practices.

Dr. (Mrs.) Ogunyemi, said this year’s theme, “Prioritize Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems,” emphasizes the need to institutionalize long-term support for nursing mothers, especially working women. “We are focused not just on promoting breastfeeding but ensuring that mothers have the social, institutional and workplace support they need,” she stated.

She described breastfeeding as one of the most effective child survival strategies, especially in the first six months of life, adding that continued breastfeeding up to two years improves cognitive, emotional and physical development. “This is not just a maternal health issue, it is a public health, economic and developmental concern,” she said, while calling for consistent investments in Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN).

According to the Special Adviser, the State Government has since institutionalized a six-month maternity leave and a two-week paternity leave for the first two deliveries, across all public institutions. “This forward-thinking policy enables families to prioritize breastfeeding in those crucial first six months. We urge private employers to adopt this standard,” she noted.

Dr. Ogunyemi also commended the work being done in the State’s 334 Primary Health Centres and over 20 Mother and Child Centres equipped with intensive care units and skilled paediatric personnel. She said health education and antenatal counselling have been intensified in public facilities to prepare mothers for optimal breastfeeding and childcare practices.

Earlier, the Director of Family Health and Nutrition at the State Ministry of Health, Dr. Folashade Oludara, described breastfeeding as the most economical and effective food source for infants, especially amid ongoing economic challenges. “Now more than ever, mothers should embrace exclusive breastfeeding. It is free, readily available, and has no adverse side effects. Contrary to myths, it doesn’t cause saggy breasts,” she said.

Dr. Oludara emphasized the need for increased public enlightenment and encouraged attendees to ask questions and dispel misconceptions. “We want our women to be informed. Breastfeeding even has protective effects against breast cancer,” she added, urging the press to amplify evidence-based information.

Delivering a goodwill message, Founder of the Child Health Advocacy Initiative (CHAI) and UN Nutrition Champion to Nigeria, Dr. (Mrs.) Lola Alonge commended Lagos for being the first state to implement six-month paid maternity and two weeks paternity leave. “This is a policy Lagos pioneered over a decade ago, and only about nine other states have followed suit. It’s commendable,” she said.

Dr. Alonge also called on the private sector to key into the policy, describing it as essential for national progress. “Private organizations employ more women than government institutions. Until they offer six-month paid maternity leave, our breastfeeding targets will remain unmet,” she said, advocating the establishment of breastmilk banks in Nigeria.

Also delivering a goodwill message, State Team Lead for the Alive and Thrive Project, Mrs. Wunmi Ajayi said early initiation of breastfeeding is fundamental to a successful exclusive breastfeeding journey. “If that critical window is missed, it becomes harder for mothers to sustain breastfeeding. The support is there; mothers just need to cooperate,” she stated.

Ajayi emphasized that the media has a pivotal role to play in pushing the message of early initiation. “The government is doing its part, but awareness must increase. If women don’t understand the ‘why,’ they’ll continue to opt for breastmilk substitutes,” she added, calling for stricter regulation of breastmilk substitute marketing.

In his closing remarks, the Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Olatunbosun Ogunbanwo, expressed appreciation to all participants, development partners, and stakeholders present at the event. “This is one of the most important issues in public health, ensuring our babies and mothers are healthy and supported. We thank everyone for being part of this movement,” he said.

Mr. Ogunbanwo praised the commitment of the Special Adviser and health professionals across the state and acknowledged the contribution of civil society and media partners. “Let’s keep this conversation alive beyond this week. With the media’s help, the message will reach every corner of Lagos State,” he concluded.

The Lagos State Government reaffirmed its partnership with global and local organizations such as UNICEF, Save the Children, Alive and Thrive, and the Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria. These partners continue to provide technical support, training, and advocacy to strengthen breastfeeding policies and practices.

World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated annually from August 1 to 7 in over 190 countries. In Lagos State, the campaign extends through the month of August, incorporating facility-based outreaches, media engagements, and stakeholder forums focused on boosting awareness and eliminating barriers to breastfeeding.

HEPATITIS: LAGOS INTENSIFIES ELIMINATION DRIVE, AS FREE TESTING, VACCINATION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION BEGIN
..Lagos launches statewide campaign to demystify and combat Hepatitis B and C
..State targets 2030 elimination goal, urges Lagosians to “know their status, take action”

In a bold push to eliminate Viral Hepatitis as a public health threat, the Lagos State Government has commenced a comprehensive campaign on the back of the 2025 World Hepatitis Day commemoration, with the theme: “Hepatitis: Let’s Break It Down.”

Speaking on the effort of Government to combat the disease at his office in Alausa-Ikeja, on Monday, July 28, 2025, the State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, described Viral Hepatitis as a silent but deadly disease, urging residents to get tested and vaccinated.

According to Abayomi, Viral Hepatitis affects millions globally and has become a silent epidemic in Nigeria. He revealed that Hepatitis B and C, the most dangerous forms, are responsible for chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, often without showing symptoms until it’s too late.

Highlighting data from the 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS), the Commissioner said over 16 million Nigerians live with Hepatitis B, and over 2 million with Hepatitis C, noting that the 2016 baseline survey in Lagos revealed a 5% and 1% prevalence for Hepatitis B and C respectively.

Prof. Abayomi emphasized that Hepatitis is both preventable and treatable; and in the case of Hepatitis C, curable. He said the state’s efforts were geared toward the global target of eliminating Viral Hepatitis by 2030, through a four-pronged approach: prevention, testing, treatment, and awareness.

“Today, we launch a state-wide awareness campaign using radio, TV, social media, and community engagement platforms to educate Lagosians,” Abayomi said. “We are demystifying Hepatitis and encouraging residents to know their status and take action.”

In addition, the state is offering free Hepatitis B and C screening and limited vaccination across General Hospitals, LASUTH, and designated Primary Health Centres in all 57 LGAs and LCDAs. Priority is given to health workers and pregnant women.

Vaccination against Hepatitis B, he stated, has already been integrated into routine newborn immunization schedules, and all pregnant women are being screened during their first antenatal clinic visit to prevent mother-to-child transmission.

To strengthen treatment access, Abayomi disclosed that staff at all secondary health facilities have been trained to manage Viral Hepatitis, and efforts are ongoing to ensure affordable antiviral drugs, especially direct-acting antivirals for Hepatitis C.

On infection prevention, the Commissioner revealed that the State enforces strict infection control protocols in public and private health facilities, including safe blood transfusion practices and proper sterilization of medical equipment.

He assured residents that Lagos blood banks are closely monitored, stating that only blood screened for transmissible infections like Hepatitis and HIV is accepted. “Our goal is zero-risk transfusion,” he declared.

Lagos is also aligning with the national campaign tagged “365 Days to Break Down Hepatitis – Constituency by Constituency”, which will implement awareness and testing activities in every federal constituency over the next year.

Enumerating some key milestones, Prof. Abayomi said Lagos was the first state to establish a dedicated government budget line for Hepatitis control. Other achievements include training 433 health workers, providing access to HCV viral load testing, and treating 100 patients under a Clinton Health Access Initiative partnership.

He also launched his personal message to residents—a “Letter to Lagosians on Hepatitis”—which underscores individual responsibility to test, vaccinate, and avoid risky practices such as sharing needles or having unprotected s*x.

Calling for collective action, the Commissioner said: “To eliminate Hepatitis, we need everyone on board, from healthcare workers to religious leaders, parents, teachers, and our friends in the media. No one must be left behind.”

Prof. Abayomi closed with appreciation to media professionals and development partners for their continuous support. He stressed that with sustained awareness and action, Lagos can become a model for Viral Hepatitis elimination in Nigeria.

Residents are encouraged to visit the nearest PHC or General Hospital to check their status and receive the Hepatitis B vaccine if eligible. “Together, we can build a Hepatitis-free Lagos,” the Commissioner concluded.

LIVES ON THE LINE, HEROES ON WHEELS: LASAMBUS SERVICE USERS TESTIFY TO IMPACT

…Beneficiaries hail Lagos State’s free emergency response service

…LASAMBUS outlines expansion plans, introduces motorbike and water ambulances
...Ogboye: “Give way, stop vandalizing—these ambulances are saving lives”

The Lagos State Ministry of Health has reiterated its commitment to improving pre-hospital emergency response services through strategic upgrades to the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS), while also calling on the public to support its operations and reduce avoidable obstacles to life-saving interventions.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye, disclosed this during an emotionally charged media engagement event tagged “LASAMBUS: Highlighting Impact, Improving and Sustaining Response,” held at the Conference Room of the Ministry, which brought beneficiaries and service users face-to-face with journalists to share life-saving experiences and unveil future-forward strategies to strengthen pre-hospital emergency care in the state.

In his presentation titled “Lagos State Pre-Hospital Emergency Care: The LASAMBUS Case Study – Past, Present and Future,” Dr. Ogboye described LASAMBUS as a critical pillar in Lagos’ emergency response architecture, saving thousands of lives through timely and professional medical intervention. “Emergency medical response is more than just transportation; it’s about stabilizing lives en route to definitive care,” Dr. Ogboye explained.

He traced LASAMBUS' evolution from four Peugeot wagons in 2001 under then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu to its current structure boasting four operational bases, 36 ambulances daily, over 190 trained personnel, and specialized services including mobile ICU units and water ambulances.

Providing insight into the state’s service metrics, Dr. Ogboye revealed that LASAMBUS responded to over 8,900 emergency calls in 2024 and has already handled nearly 3,000 cases in 2025. “We have consistently recorded extremely low mortality during transit, often just one case annually, which speaks to the clinical capability of our team,” he said.

He added that the government is introducing new solutions to address challenges such as traffic delays, vague location descriptions, crowd interference, and ambulance vandalism. Planned innovations include the deployment of 10 motorcycle ambulances, a first responder volunteer scheme, and the rejig of water ambulances for riverine communities.

“We are also engaging private helicopter providers for potential air ambulance support in critical cases,” Ogboye said, adding that the government has made significant investments in digital communication upgrades, tracking systems, and modular ambulance deployment points across the state.

The Permanent Secretary emphasized the importance of citizens cooperation. “Ambulance teams are not adversaries; they are your allies. When you see an ambulance, give way, whether it is empty or not. And stop vandalizing emergency vehicles; they are built to save lives,” he said.

He stated that 60 percent of LASAMBUS emergencies in 2024 involved trauma cases such as road traffic accidents and falls, while 25 percent were medical emergencies including seizures and cardiac incidents. Obstetric and public health emergencies accounted for the remaining 15 percent.

In her remarks, the Director of LASAMBUS, Mrs. Beatrice Makinde, explained that many of the delays reported by the public stem from road network issues and miscommunication. “Sometimes, callers provide vague or incorrect directions, which takes us longer to reach the scene,” she said. “Crowd behaviour is also a problem. People gather instead of helping to create access for responders.”

Mrs. Makinde emphasized that the agency remains committed to its core mandate despite these constraints adding that her team remains undeterred by these challenges and is guided by the principle of saving lives at all costs.

She called on the press and public to echo the call for better road courtesy toward emergency responders. “We do not take this work lightly. Saving lives depends on minutes and every minute counts in emergency care. That’s why public understanding and courtesy are so important, we need every Lagosian to play their part,” she concluded.

Several beneficiaries who have used LASAMBUS services shared their experiences during the session and their testimonies served as the emotional highlight of the event. Mr. Adebayo Akinola narrated how LASAMBUS rescued his uncle after an accident in Oshodi. “Their prompt response was the reason my uncle is still alive today,” he said. “We didn’t pay a kobo, yet we received world-class service.”

For Omotayo Oluwakemi Adeyinka, a Director in Education District I, her testimony was deeply personal. She recounted how a young boy was hit by her car on Agege Bridge and went into a coma. “The private hospital couldn’t help. But LASAMBUS came, transferred him, and stayed until he was stabilized. I offered money, and they declined, it’s truly free!” she said, visibly moved.

Mr. Akintayo Moshood, another beneficiary, said he painted the LASAMBUS ambulance wall in Agege out of gratitude. “I fainted from a fall. They rescued me, treated me with dignity, and didn’t even know who I was,” he recalled. “I wanted to do something—anything—to say thank you.”

In a 2 a.m. emergency, Sulaimon Kabir Olanrewaju found himself struggling to breathe. “We couldn’t find a car. Then we called 767. Within five minutes, LASAMBUS arrived. That was my first time using an emergency line. They saved my life,” he shared emotionally.

Morufu Muriana Ademola, a spare parts dealer from Ibadan, narrated how a tragic motor accident in Lagos nearly claimed his life. “My intestines were out. I was unconscious for months. I’m alive because LASAMBUS intervened,” he said. “I’m not even a Lagosian, yet I received help.”

The event concluded with expressions of gratitude to State Government and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for prioritizing healthcare access and infrastructure, especially in emergency services. Dr. Ogboye noted that the Governor’s support has been instrumental in building a responsive and professional ambulance system. He reiterated, “Our Governor’s vision for a safer Lagos is what makes this possible. Our task is to sustain and scale this vision.”

He affirmed that the Ministry would continue to build on current gains. “The Governor has given us the resources. It is now our duty to make sure every Lagosian in distress has access to timely emergency care,” he said.

With testimonies steeped in gratitude and a roadmap filled with innovation, the media engagement solidified LASAMBUS as more than just an ambulance service; it’s a lifeline for Lagosians. And as the sirens blaze through Lagos roads, so too does the hope that more lives will be saved, faster and better than ever before.

The LASAMBUS media engagement forms part of a larger sensitization campaign aimed at improving emergency response efficiency, increasing public trust in the service, and fostering a culture of timely intervention and cooperation among residents.

LAGOS WRAPS UP HIGH-IMPACT HEALTH LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP WITH CALL TO ACTION ON SECTOR REFORMS
..Permanent Secretary urges immediate integration of lessons into health planning, budgeting
..Participants lauded for commitment, as state prepares to deploy web-based AOP tool

After four days of intensive learning, Lagos State formally closed the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (NHSRII) Capacity Development Workshop for Health Leaders and Managers with a resounding call for action and integration of newly acquired planning tools and reform strategies into day-to-day health governance.

The closing ceremony, held on Friday, July 18, 2025, at Trident Suites in Ikeja, brought together top health officials, development partners, and technical experts who participated in the sub-national cascade workshop hosted by the Lagos State Ministry of Health in collaboration with the SWAp Coordination Office and the Federal Ministry of Health.

Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye, who delivered the closing remarks, emphasized that the workshop was not just an academic exercise but a practical foundation for change. “You’ve spent four days absorbing technical topics like data for decision-making, systems thinking, bottleneck analysis, these are tools that must now guide how we plan, prioritize, and deliver health services,” he said.

Ogboye praised the timing of the workshop, noting its alignment with the state’s upcoming budget cycle. “For the first time, our planning will not trail behind budgeting. With the online AOP tool now fully introduced, we are ready to shape meaningful, fundable plans before the budget ship sails,” he stated. He also confirmed that the 2025 Annual Operational Plan process in Lagos will now adopt the new web-based planning tool.

Reflecting on the workshop content, Ogboye noted the importance of system thinking in solving real health challenges. “Too often, we design solutions from a distance without speaking with those affected. This workshop has helped shift that mindset. We must now act differently,” he urged. He also directed the Department of Planning, Research and Statistics to cascade the knowledge across all health agencies in the state.

Earlier, Director of Healthcare Planning, Research, and Statistics, Dr. Olajumoke Oyenuga who coordinated the workshop, thanked the Permanent Secretary for his leadership and presence at the close of the event. “Your support has been instrumental. From Day 1, we saw unwavering commitment from participants. They showed up on a public holiday and stayed fully engaged throughout,” she said.

Dr. Oyenuga highlighted the structure of the sessions, ranging from the basics of sector-wide approach (SWAp) to hands-on training on the AOP web tool, as essential in preparing the health workforce to embrace reform. “We are no longer just talking. We’re thinking and speaking like system actors. That’s transformation,” she noted.

She also extended appreciation to the master trainers and federal facilitators, including Dr. Oyeyemi Ogunjobi, Mrs. Moji Kufo, Dr. Sangoleye, Dr. Nonso Egbosi, and Dr. Olabisi Dabiri, for guiding the technical learning. “These experts brought clarity, and their presence helped root the training in practical realities,” she said.

Delivering a technical recap, SWAp Desk Officer for Lagos, Dr. Oyeyemi Ogunjobi summarized the journey through four days of capacity building. From pre-tests and deep dives into MAMII, HOPE Project, and bottleneck analysis, to the rigorous demonstrations on the AOP platform, participants were taken through a full cycle of strategic health planning.

Ogunjobi noted that the training was not just theoretical but hands-on. “We covered everything from sector integration to costing and resource mapping. The AOP tool is no longer abstract, our planners now know how to use it. This will help us meet the SWAp vision of ‘one plan, one budget, one report,’” he emphasized.

Dr. Olabisi Dabiri, a Federal Ministry of Health consultant and one of the master trainers, commended the discipline and energy shown by Lagos participants. “As someone who trains in many states, I must say this cohort stood out. They were asking questions, reflecting critically, and engaging deeply. It was not just impressive, it was inspiring,” she said.

She acknowledged the initial difficulty of the pre-test but said the transformation by the final day was evident. “The growth was measurable. I believe this group will return to their LGAs and MDAs with new energy and capacity to lead reform. That’s the goal of NHSRII,” Dabiri added.

With the workshop wrapped, the Lagos State Ministry of Health now shifts focus to embedding the tools, insights, and strategic mindset into every facet of health planning and service delivery. Officials say the lessons from the workshop will be integrated into the operational plans for 2025 and beyond.

Participants are expected to cascade the training across their departments, creating a ripple effect of knowledge transfer. Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms will be deployed to track implementation and impact of the training.

As Dr. Ogboye rightly concluded, “The real value of this workshop is not what happened in this room, but what happens next in our health centres, departments, and communities. Let’s make this count.”
