We collect and analyse data through household surveys, facility spot checks, community listening, social listening, and research partnerships — generating real-time, community-grounded insights on PHC access, maternal health, immunisation, SRHR, health security, and more.
We translate data into actionable intelligence — from the Nigeria Health Intelligence Report to political intelligence briefs, policy analyses, investment cases, and thematic knowledge products — ensuring evidence is packaged for the audiences who need it most.
We use editorial content, solutions journalism, multimedia storytelling, podcasts, and social media to shift public discourse, counter misinformation, and make complex health issues accessible to citizens, communities, and decision-makers.
We strengthen the ecosystem that sustains change — training journalists, CSOs, researchers, government communicators, and health advocates through fellowships, masterclasses, and targeted programmes.
We bring together governments, partners, communities, the private sector, and regional bodies for policy dialogues, summits, roundtables, and webinars that create shared understanding and generate commitments to action.
We ensure that evidence leads to real improvements — in health workforce deployment, state planning processes, regional health security agendas, vaccination campaigns, and national policy frameworks. We track commitments, document change, and amplify what works.
Nigeria Health Watch has been recognised at the Nigeria Healthcare Excellence Awards across seven editions.
Together, we can strengthen health systems, amplify community voices, and drive lasting change.
