The Federal Ministry of Health is urging Nigerians to visit and utilise the newly deployed health platform to report issues around COVID-19 and other infectious diseases in their various locations.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mr Abdulaziz Abdullahi, said this when he was receiving COVID-19 sensitisation materials, donated by the Institute of Electrical Electronic Engineers Young Professionals, Nigeria Section, as part of measures to stem the pandemic.

He urged “Nigerians to imbibe safe care-seeking behaviour and visit the new platform, www.hpd.health.gov  to report health issues.”

“This step by Nigerians will assist the government to keep track of COVID-19, infectious and non-infectious diseases in Nigeria”, he said.

Abdullahi received 1,000 posters from the institute in Abuja on behalf of the Federal Government.
