Nigeria sits at the crossroads of West and Central Africa; two increasingly critical regions for global health security. To strengthen cross-border collaboration for health security between its neighbors from West and Central Africa, the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria through the public health authority at the Points of Entry—Port Health Services, led the design of a multi-lateral framework for cross-border collaboration between Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, the Republic of Chad, the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Niger. This framework provides a platform for agreeing on bilateral national and district-level infectious disease surveillance information sharing as well as laying the groundwork for expanded collaboration in incident reporting, joint investigation and response across borders. Data sharing not applicable as no datasets generated and/or analysed for this study.

尼日利亚位于西非和中非的十字路口；两个对全球卫生安全日益重要的地区。为了加强西非和中非邻国之间的跨境卫生安全合作，尼日利亚联邦卫生部通过入境口岸卫生服务部门的公共卫生当局牵头设计了一个多边框架尼日利亚、贝宁共和国、乍得共和国、喀麦隆共和国和尼日尔共和国之间的跨境合作。该框架为就双边国家和地区级传染病监测信息共享达成一致提供了平台，并为扩大跨境事件报告、联合调查和应对方面的合作奠定了基础。数据共享不适用，因为本研究没有生成和/或分析数据集。
