MSH Nigeria Ltd/GTE

MSH Nigeria Ltd/GTE advances the mission of Management Sciences for Health: Strengthening health systems so that everyone, everywhere can access quality care.

Established as a locally governed subsidiary of MSH, MSH Nigeria reflects the organization’s long-term commitment to partnering with Nigerian institutions to build strong, resilient health systems. For more than two decades, MSH has worked alongside Nigerian leaders to strengthen workforce capacity, improve primary health care delivery, and support the institutions responsible for protecting public health.

The creation of MSH Nigeria Ltd/GTE represents an evolution of that partnership—placing leadership, governance, and operational capacity closer to the institutions and communities the work serves, while remaining connected to MSH’s global technical expertise and learning.
