The World Health Organization (WHO) is delivering emergency health assistance to victims of flooding in Nigeria, deploying medical teams and supplies to affected areas in Maiduguri, Borno State.
In a statement on Monday, WHO announced the deployment of four mobile health teams, consisting of 20 medical personnel equipped with essential drugs and medical supplies.
The teams are providing treatment for minor ailments, routine immunization, antenatal and postnatal care, mental health services, and coordinating referrals to larger hospitals.
Additionally, WHO has dispatched 50 frontline volunteers to conduct active case searches for water-borne and vaccine-preventable diseases in camps for displaced individuals.
These efforts aim to address the urgent health needs of flood victims and mitigate the risk of disease outbreaks.
