MSH in Nigeria
Management Sciences for Health (MSH) has partnered with Nigerian institutions for more than two decades to strengthen health systems, build workforce capacity, and expand access to quality primary health care.
Combating Malaria on a Global Scale in Nigeria
Nigeria has the largest population in Africa, now exceeding 200 million across 36 states. Unfortunately, Nigeria is also home to 25% of the world’s malaria cases. As a partner to the Government of Nigeria in combating malaria, our work with the Global Fund, USAID, and the President’s Malaria Initiative supports Nigeria’s National Malaria Eradication Plan from the Ministry to the facility level across nearly 60% of Nigeria and directly supports 15% of the global malaria response in one country alone.
Our Work in Nigeria
Our work reflects MSH’s global mission to strengthen health systems so that everyone, everywhere, can access the care they need. In Nigeria, this has meant working alongside federal and state ministries, regulatory bodies, and local partners to strengthen the institutions responsible for delivering health services.
Over the years, these partnerships have contributed to improvements in workforce development, pharmaceutical systems, leadership and governance, and public health programming, helping strengthen systems that sustain impact beyond individual projects.
Today, MSH’s work in Nigeria is led through MSH Nigeria LTD/GTE, a locally governed subsidiary that advances partnerships, programs, and systems strengthening aligned with Nigeria’s health priorities.
MSH has supported Nigeria across multiple health priorities, including:
- Health workforce development and professionalization
- Primary health care strengthening
- Leadership, management, and governance
- Pharmaceutical systems and supply chain strengthening
- Infectious disease and public health programming
Through long-standing collaboration with Nigerian institutions and development partners, MSH continues to support nationally led solutions that strengthen health systems and improve access to care.
