Nigeria passes first subnational health security bill

Participants in "Law & Health Security: Strengthening Nigeria's Legal Preparedness."

Resolve to Save Lives recently supported the passage of Nigeria’s first subnational health security bill in partnership with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the Government of Kano State. This new law brings Kano State into alignment with International Health Regulations (2005) and will allow the state to better protect its people—and serve as an exemplar for public health agencies across Nigeria and across the region.
