Background for Retreat’s Discussion

Vaccines save lives and money but a large funding gap threatens the Nigerian immunization program

• More than 2000 Nigerian children under 5 years die

everyday and more than 100 women die giving birth daily in this country

• The immunization program faces a large funding gap
• wing to new vaccines and transition from Gavi support
• Similar funding gaps in Family planning, nutrition and
• ther RMNCH.
• Economic realities known, affects both federal and

states

• Health is priority thus concrete efforts needed to

address these funding gaps and opportunities abound for sustainable health financing in Nigeria

• Sensitization, engagement and discussion with

legislators vital for success.
