Evaluation of acute flaccid paralysis surveillance system in Kebbi State, Nigeria between 2013-2018
the evaluation concluded that the AFP surveillance system in Kebbi State, Nigeria, is useful, simple, flexible, acceptable, sensitive, representative, timely, and stable, although donor dependency remains a concern. A significant gap was the lack of data on 60-day follow-ups and laboratory feedback. Addressing these issues is important to further strengthen the system.
