Preventable Blindness
Blindness remains a major problem of public health significance in Nigeria. The National Blindness and Visual Impairment Survey for Nigeria which was conducted in 2008, estimates that 1.1 million Nigerian adults are blind and an additional 3 million have visual impairment. Overall, 42 out of every 1000 adults aged 40 and above are blind. It is also estimated that 88% of the blindness and visual impairments in Nigerian are due to avoidable causes; most commonly cataract.
Maternal and
Child Health
The 5th Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS-5), conducted in Nigeria in 2016/2017, shows a newborn mortality rate of 37 deaths per 1000 births and an under-five mortality rate of 120 deaths per 1000 births. At these mortality levels, one in every 15 Nigerian children die before reaching the age of 1 year and one in every eight do not survive to their fifth birthday.
Neglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of 17 viral, parasitic and bacterial infections that infect more than a billion people globally. Twelve of these are currently targeted in Nigeria, with more than 100 million people affected by or at risk of one or more of these NTDs.
