A Modern West African Capital on the Move
At the invitation of senior representatives from the local USAID and CDC offices, I recently traveled with colleagues Paul Volberding, Alex Coutinho and Accordia staff member Kelly Willis to Abuja, Nigeria. Our trip followed months of discussions with the Nigerian PEPFAR team and representatives from the University of Abuja and the Federal Ministry of Health about the possibility of creating a West African Infectious Diseases Institute in Nigeria. While the local needs differ substantially from those in Uganda when the project launched almost ten years ago, the West African IDI would be largely predicated on the successful model of the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) at Makerere University.
