The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will on Friday hold a consultative meeting with Nigerian 16 States’ Commissioners of Health.
It is scheduled to hold at the Ladi Kwali Hall, Sheraton Hotel, Abuja.
According to a statement by the U.S. Embassy, Abuja, the event will be a platform to engage the Commissioners and other key stakeholders on the U.S.-CDC/PEPFAR-supported HIV program implementation, progress toward epidemic control, and sustainability.
