Nigeria CDC
In the battle against infectious diseases, knowledge and clear processes are as vital as any medical intervention. When the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) sought a partner to demystify the complexity of sample packaging and transport, they turned to WWT Comms, and together, we etched a compelling success story.
The Challenge
As the nation’s incident manager for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, NCDC had a Herculean task — to ensure that all national Reference Laboratories (NRLs) across Nigeria adopted a uniform set of guidelines for sample packaging and transport. This uniformity was not merely a matter of logistics; it was a crucial element in the country’s pandemic response. Achieving this goal required more than just guidelines; it required effective communication and a dissemination strategy that could reach every corner of this vast nation.
The Solution
Handed the mantle to create a solution that would simplify the intricate process of sample packaging and transport, WWT Comms took the challenge head-on. The result? A comprehensive information kit that would become a beacon of clarity for all National Reference Laboratories nationwide. This kit was no ordinary collection of documents; it was a carefully curated arsenal:
- Instructional Video: Visual learning is powerful. WWT Comms created an instructional video that broke down the process into easy-to-follow steps. From urban laboratories to remote clinics, anyone could now understand and replicate the process with confidence.
- Job Aid Poster: Sometimes, a quick reference is all you need. The job aid poster condensed the essential information into an easily accessible format. Hang it on the wall, and the guidelines were always at your fingertips.
- Job Aid Booklet: For those who preferred a more comprehensive guide, the job aid booklet was the answer. It was a detailed manual that delved deeper into the intricacies of the process.
The Impact
The outputs of this collaboration were more than just documents and media resources; they were catalysts for change. They revolutionised the way sample packaging and transport were perceived and executed in Nigeria. The uniform adoption of guidelines not only streamlined operations but also bolstered the nation’s response to the pandemic and other infectious diseases. WWT Comms didn’t just provide communication support; we became architects of a more effective and coordinated healthcare system. Our work with NCDC stands as a testament to the power of effective communication in the face of a global crisis.
