2 hrs agoNigeria is seeing a decline in Lassa fever cases—but the fatality rate remains alarmingly high. As of today, while confirmed cases are falling, deaths continue at concerning levels, keeping the outlook tense despite the downward case trajectory.
In a troubling development, at least 652 children in Katsina State have died from severe malnutrition in the first half of 2025 outside other states. Médecins Sans Frontières attributes this surge to deep funding cuts from major international donors, leading to a 208% increase in severe malnutrition cases compared to the same period in 2024. Food aid suspensions in conflict-affected areas, coupled with limited domestic capacity, have intensified the crisis.
Medical experts are also raising alarm over a significant funding shortfall for contraceptive supplies, totaling approximately $27.4 million as of March 2025. This gap jeopardizes reproductive health services across the country, threatening ongoing efforts to expand access and reduce maternal and neonatal risks.bbc news.ngn
