Today, we join the global campaign to honour humanitarian workers who serve communities in times of crisis, often under difficult and dangerous conditions.

Protecting humanitarian workers means protecting the people who depend on them for food, healthcare, shelter, protection and hope.

Let’s stand with those who serve, protect those who help, and make protecting each other our greatest achievement.

ECEWS, in collaboration with the Enugu State Ministry of Health, has completed the 5th Last Mile Distribution of essential malaria commodities across all 17 LGAs of Enugu State, across 527 supported facilities.

With essential medicines now available across ECEWS-supported facilities, health workers can provide timely treatment and respond to severe malaria cases when it matters most.

Because the last mile is about more than delivery. It is about saving lives.

ECEWS has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Enugu State Agency for Universal Health Coverage (ESAUHC) to provide health insurance coverage for 1,000 pregnant women across Enugu State.

The partnership, signed on August 13, 2026, is a step towards reducing financial barriers to essential maternal healthcare and ensuring that more women can access the care they need throughout pregnancy and childbirth.

Following the signing, the ECEWS team met with the Executive Secretary of the Enugu State Primary Health Care Development Agency (ENS-PHCDA) to strengthen coordination and chart the way forward for the mobilisation of the 1,000 beneficiaries across all 17 Local Government Areas of Enugu State.

Through partnerships that put women and families at the centre of healthcare, ECEWS continues to support efforts that make quality healthcare more accessible, equitable, and sustainable.

At the recently concluded AIDS 2026 Conference, ECEWS actively contributed to the global scientific dialogue through technical panel session coordination, stakeholder engagement, and side sessions organized by Roche.

As part of our scientific contributions, we presented a poster titled:

“Sustaining Index Testing Using HIV Self-Test Kits in the Era of HIV Rapid Test Kit (RTK) Shortages Following Global Health Budget Cuts in Nigeria.”

Presented by Bonaventure Ukoaka and Joseph Ekong, the poster highlighted the adaptive strategies implemented by ECEWS to sustain HIV index testing and prevention services during a period of rapid diagnostic test kit shortages following global funding cuts.

The findings demonstrate how innovative, context-specific approaches enabled the continuity of essential HIV testing services despite significant resource constraints. More importantly, they reflect ECEWS’ commitment to building resilient health systems, ensuring uninterrupted access to life-saving services, and translating implementation challenges into evidence that informs global best practices.

From scientific exchange to practical implementation, ECEWS remains committed to advancing sustainable, evidence-driven solutions that improve health outcomes in Nigeria and beyond.

Cross River State is taking another significant step toward strengthening health systems through digital innovation.

During a courtesy visit to the Cross River State Ministry of Health, ECEWS reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the digital transformation of healthcare commodity management through the proposed deployment of the ENVO digital logistics management platform at the State Central Medical Store.

The initiative will provide real-time visibility of medical commodities, improve inventory management, reduce stock-outs, strengthen accountability, and support data-driven decision-making across the supply chain.

The Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Henry Egbe Ayuk, commended the initiative, describing it as a strategic intervention that aligns with the state’s vision for a more efficient, transparent, and technology-driven healthcare system.

ECEWS remain committed to partnering with governments to strengthen health systems, improve access to life-saving commodities, and deliver sustainable health outcomes for communities.
