Experts have called for stronger policy, regulatory, and clinical leadership alignment to accelerate maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) innovation across Nigeria. Speaking at the NAFDAC MNCH Week on November 11, 2025, Prof. Taiwo G. Amole, a deputy director Research at ACEPHAP, Kano, highlighted the urgent need for coordinated action to address Nigeria’s persistently high maternal and newborn mortality rates.

The African Centre of Excellence for Population Health and Policy (ACEPHAP) recently conducted the E-MOTIVE Bundle State Training of Trainers (ToT) on the 23rd and 24th of October, bringing together healthcare professionals dedicated to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes.
