AfDB grants $46 million loan to boost healthcare in Sokoto
- The African Development Bank approved a $46 million loan for healthcare infrastructure in Sokoto State, Nigeria.
- This project is the fifth in a series of interventions totaling $117.68 million aimed at improving health outcomes.
- Only 1 in 20 children in Northern Nigeria is fully vaccinated, highlighting severe healthcare deficiencies.
The investment by the African Development Bank in Sokoto State is a crucial step towards addressing the dire healthcare challenges faced in Northern Nigeria. By focusing on infrastructure and collaboration with international partners, this initiative has the potential to significantly improve health outcomes and create sustainable employment opportunities. However, ongoing monitoring and support will be essential to ensure the project's long-term success and effectiveness.
