In the late 1990s, malaria accounted for more than half of paediatric admissions at Kilifi’s main hospital in Kenya. And today? Severe childhood malaria has become so rare there that researchers say it is now difficult to run clinical trials for new treatments.
That incredible transformation came from decades of consistent access to insecticide-treated nets, test and treat policies, community health workers and sustained surveillance, and the district played a role in piloting the new malaria vaccines.

Yesterday in Minna, I had the honour of addressing the 61st National Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria, and I used the occasion to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to strengthening laboratory services across Niger State.
Under the New Niger Health Agenda of His Excellency, Farmer Mohammed Umaru Bago(@HonBago), we are implementing the Niger State Laboratory Optimization Project (NSLOP) to close critical gaps in laboratory infrastructure, equipment, diagnostic supplies and workforce capacity.
On October 27, 2026, the Ministry signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a consortium comprising Erba Diagnostics, Bloom Public Health(@bloompubhealth) and Sydani Group(@SydaniGroup) to strengthen diagnostic capacity at General Hospital Minna, General Hospital Bida and selected Primary Healthcare Centres. This intervention is a game-changer, particularly for our rural and underserved communities.
Speaking on the conference theme, "From Microscope to Metaverse," I advocated greater adoption of emerging technologies — molecular diagnostics, laboratory automation, artificial intelligence, digital pathology and integrated laboratory information systems. The future of diagnostics is here, and Niger State is positioning itself at the forefront.
To our Medical Laboratory Scientists: you are indispensable partners in healthcare delivery. Accurate and timely diagnosis remains the foundation of effective clinical decisions, disease prevention and proper patient management. I thank Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria for bringing this national conversation to Minna for the first time, and I am confident that the deliberations here will strengthen professional partnerships and contribute to a more efficient, sustainable and resilient healthcare system in Niger State and Nigeria at large.
