On 11 October 2016, WHO in collaboration with the State Ministry of Health delivered emergency medical supplies to an international NGO partner for distribution to facilities in Gwoza Local Government Area (LGA). The supplies are enough to treat 20,000 people for three months.

As part of its efforts to expand the Hard to Reach Teams (HTR) to the most difficult to access areas and to the underserved populations, the SMOH with the support of WHO has identified six additional areas where the hard to reach teams will be deployed, these include: Dikwa, Mafa, Kukawa, Gwoza, Mongunu and Ngala LGAs.
