Kano, Nigeria- The Kano State Ministry of Health has announced the launch of the Kano State Action Plan for Health Security (KSAPHS), a comprehensive plan aimed at preventing, detecting, and responding to health emergencies in Kano State.

It is a testament to our commitment towards enhancing the healthcare system, particularly in times of health emergencies. We are better equipped to respond to outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics.”
