At the handover ceremony which took place in Abuja, WHO Country Representative, Dr Walter Mulombo, said that the vehicles were intended to enhance the operational capacity of the FCT Public Health Emergency Response System.
According to him, the FCT is one of the six states selected to pioneer the SURGE implementation in Nigeria and the donation of the vehicles aims to bolster health emergency preparedness and response.
“These vehicles will enhance the FCT’s mobility and rapid deployment capacity for emergency teams, ensuring that critical personnel, supplies, and response efforts reach affected communities swiftly and efficiently,” he said.
