The Sultan raised the concern during an engagement between northern traditional leaders and the National Primary Health Care Development Agency in Abuja.
The Sokoto traditional leader said there was a need for states with IDP camps, such as Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, and Kastina, to take proactive measures to prevent outbreaks of diseases.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government said it would soon introduce the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine into the country’s immunisation schedule.
The Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Faisal Shuaib, said this at the second quarter review meeting with northern traditional leaders.
Human Papilloma Virus is a commonly transmitted infection that can lead to various health issues, including cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers.
