Nigeria has signed a five-year, $5.1 billion health cooperation agreement with the United States, combining nearly $2.1 billion in U.S. health assistance with about $3 billion in planned Nigerian domestic health spending.
The agreement covers HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, maternal and child health, disease surveillance, laboratory systems, health workers, and health data systems. But similar U.S. health agreements have faced resistance elsewhere in Africa. Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia have also rejected a similar arrangement, with concerns reported over health data and biological specimens.
