In Borno State, where conflict has displaced thousands of people, malaria is currently claiming more lives than all other diseases combined.
Polio workers are the driving force behind a major public health campaign to stop the disease, delivering antimalarial medications alongside polio vaccinations on a mass scale. Their efforts are an important example of how the polio program works with other initiatives to meet the wider health needs of vulnerable populations. Pictured above is a a child in Nigeria receiving a dose of antimalarial medication alongside a polio vaccine in a coordinated campaign.
