He explained that Nigeria is a large country with a continuously increasing population coupled with the introduction of new and essential vaccines.
He said this requires the country to have sufficient storage space for vaccines and injection materials for efficient implementation of its immunisation programme.
“In recognition of the need for resilience in the system, the country, following detailed analysis, decided on a system redesign which includes construction of three mega stores at the national level, deployment of optimised cold chain equipment at the health facilities, an efficient distribution system and the deployment of an electronic logistics management information system to provide visibility across the supply chain,” he said.
The 3-Hub project is an initiative led by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) that would accommodate needed vaccines through 2035.NYSC Portal
