Description

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) was established in the year 2011 in response to the challenges of public health emergencies and to enhance Nigeria’s preparedness and response to epidemics through prevention, detection and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control is the country’s national public health institute, with the mandate to lead the preparedness, detection and response to infectious disease outbreaks and public health emergencies. The first formal step to establish the NCDC took place in 2011 when some departments in the Ministry of Health, including the Epidemiology Division, the Avian Influenza Project and its laboratories; and the Nigeria Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programme (NFELTP) were moved to form the nucleus of the agency. The Bill for an Act to establish NCDC was signed into law in November 2018, by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The mission for the NCDC (2017-2021) is ‘To protect the health of Nigerians through evidence based prevention, integrated disease surveillance and response activities, using a one health approach, guided by research and led by a skilled workforce’.

The core functions of NCDC include:

• Prevent, detect, and control diseases of public health importance.

• Coordinate surveillance systems to collect, analyse and interpret data on diseases of public health importance.

• Support States in responding to small outbreaks, and lead the response to large disease outbreaks.

• Develop and maintain a network of reference and specialized laboratories.

• Conduct, collate, synthesize and disseminate public health research to inform policy.

• Lead Nigeria’s engagement with the international community on diseases of public health relevance
