The support follows the signing of a 5.1 billion dollar health cooperation agreement between the US and Nigeria, aimed at improving healthcare delivery and tackling major diseases across the country.
The funding targets Christian faith based hospitals and clinics that provide care in many rural and underserved communities, where access to basic health services remains limited.
The assistance will support treatment and prevention of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, as well as maternal and child healthcare, areas where Nigeria continues to face serious challenges.

The US government says these facilities, though only a fraction of health providers nationwide, serve a large share of Nigeria’s population, especially women and children in hard to reach areas.
Under the wider agreement, the United States plans to contribute 2.1 billion dollars, while Nigeria will invest 3 billion dollars in domestic health spending over five years, strengthening healthcare systems and deepening cooperation between both nations.
