Original article was published on the MentalHealth Worldwide website. 

From our member in Nigeria, Gede Foundation, we are very excited to announce that
for the first time Nigeria has included mental health into routine HIV/AIDS care and support in the National HIV AIDS Strategic Framework 2017-2021(Gede Co-Chaired the Technical Working Group which looked at the key issues).

Gede has been published in BMC Public Health in a peer reviewed article on the prevalence of common mental disorders in a large sample of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. Access article from link below:
