Driving evidence into action.
WHARC proudly led the implementation of the Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) Assessment, culminating in the National Dissemination and Official Launch of the assessment report. With funding from the European Union (EU) and support from UNFPA, UNICEF, and government partners, this landmark initiative provides critical evidence to inform policies, strengthen health systems, and improve the quality of maternal and newborn healthcare across Nigeria.
