Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria to adapt COMDIS-HSD’s guides
In March 2013, Professor John Walley visited Nigeria to discuss CVD and diabetes work with the Federal Ministry of Health.
They are keen to adapt COMDIS-HSD’s generic package of CVD-diabetes case management and lifestyle education materials. The meeting was facilitated by Nuffield Centre alumni Drs Philip Kayode and Bernard Bene, who work in the Department of Community Health Services, responsible for non-communicable diseases.
John also discussed opportunities to collaborate with the National TB Programme, as well as visiting Dr Akan Otu and his colleagues in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital to advise them on how to develop their research.
