The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has confirmed an outbreak of dengue fever in Edo State between June 9th and 13th, 2025.
In response to the rising risks and threats of disease outbreaks, NCDC said it was alerting the public and stakeholders of its ongoing, coordinated national response to recent surges in these infectious disease outbreaks.
The centre said it is working closely with state governments, health partners, and communities to strengthen surveillance, provide treatment supplies, deploy rapid response teams, and other communication and community engagement efforts to contain outbreaks and reduce their impact.
