Multisectoral contributions to health security and formal policy availability at the community level in Nigeria

Multisectoral collaboration for health at the community level is important for harnessing resources from outside the health sector that will be used to enhance the health security of communities. Such MSC is potentially a powerful tool for strengthening primary healthcare, towards UHC, and achieving SDG3, as shown by our findings. However, entrenched and sustained MSC should be undertaken through explicitly intentional policy reforms and their implementation through identifying, promoting, and financing MSC actions.
