Xinhua reports the WHO on Tuesday donated doses of the antiviral Tamiflu totaling 408 million naira - $2.8 million - to Nigeria, "enough to treat at least 184,800 people."
Nigeria is one of 72 countries that will receive Tamiflu - a drug shown to stop the spread and severity of the H1N1 flu. "[P]riority was given to vulnerable countries, taking into consideration national manufacturing and procurement capacity," Xinhua writes (Xinhua, 6/3).
