NPHCDA Donates Essential Medicines to NAHCON for Hajj Pilgrims

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has donated essential medicines to the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) for the benefit of pilgrims embarking on the Hajj pilgrimage this year. This gesture, which took place in Abuja on Sunday, demonstrates the federal government's commitment to the health and well-being of citizens, particularly during this significant religious event.

According to Dr. Muyi Aina, Director General of NPHCDA, the agency has ensured a regular supply of travelers' vaccines (CSM, Td, Influenza, and BoPV) to all states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Additionally, NPHCDA has sourced and provided essential medical supplies, including antimalarial, antihypertensive, analgesic, and antibiotic medications, among others.

This donation marks a crucial step in ensuring the health and safety of Nigerian pilgrims during their journey. With these essential medicines, NAHCON can better provide medical care and support to those in need, helping to create a healthier and more successful Hajj experience.
