Dreal1247: Well said.

stevecrun: Shame on this country
Instead of us to put head together,bring those that have possible cure for this menace,test them and make our own drug,instead NAFDAC is busy arresting those that have possible cures.

The minister of health sef,is a joker..he said he sent an email to America yesterday pleading to have the drug ZMAPP..nothing is working in this country.

phemmyjohnson: In response to the death of the nurse who
contacted the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Lagos,
the immediate past National Deputy President of
the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and
Midwives (NANNM), Mr. Olufemi Rasheed Tonade,
has said nurses are not ready to sign a death
warrant.
He, however, described the death of the nurse as
quite unfortunate, pathetic and painful, saying
that the death brings to the fore what the
association “is saying about our governments and
the health system. It is quiet unfortunate that the
Nigerian government has not addressed basic
needs in the health system.”
“As leaders in the sector, we will not allow
government deceive anybody that they have
equipment. We have concluded that we are not
going to sign a death warrant. We believe that if
government cannot resolve basic health needs,
how can it tackle the Ebola virus, which is a very
serious health hazard that has shut down the
whole Liberia and about to shut down other West
African countries.
“Our problem is that we don’t get our priorities
right. Ebola is deadly and cannot be politicised, it
should be addressed with all seriousness by any
serious government.
“We have told all our members that Ebola is
deadly and that no hospital in Nigeria is prepared
to handle the virus. They should not politicise it to
say they have protective equipment. It is no
longer preventive in Nigeria rather it is now
curative approach. The American government just
tested a drug. All they need do is to treat Ebola
decisively and tackle it headlong,” Tonade said.
He said the association is trying to identify the
matron that died, and whether she was in the
private or public health sector, adding that no
amount of money can be given to anyone to say
he or she should come and treat Ebola patients.
“Nothing is working in Nigeria, the insurance
industry is not effective in Nigeria, and the
government insurance scheme cannot be likened
to you having a third party insurance on your car.
You know with third party insurance, you do not
expect anything when your car gets damaged.
We do not believe in government’s life insurance,”
he added.
He agreed however that the country has the
manpower—the doctors and nurses, but lacked
the facilities, the reason “why we have resisted
them bringing Ebola patients to the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) because we
do not have the facilities there.
“What will government give that could be
compared to the life of a doctor, nurse,
pharmacist and other health professionals. Let us
tackle the disease headlong.
“Let government bring in the drugs that the
Americans are currently using for their people.
Yes, we have quarantined some health officials,
but we need serious commitment on the part of
government.

herald9: If everyone is on the run...who go save Who?

phemmyjohnson:
When the disease landed in Nigeria, I knew its gonna be a disaster
The only cure to Ebola is prevention
Buh our govt av failed us
While other countries are closing their borders b4 now
My govt is busy chasing ghosts they created em'selves
This is the punishment for having incompetent pipu as govt officials
They shall surely get a piece of it as well..

stevecrun: True..
Like what the big pharmaceutical companies are saying in the USA,that what Africa needs is a preventive vaccine and not a curative vaccination.

I doubt if whats happening in Sierra Leone and Liberia if it happens in Nigeria,if we can contain it..coz we've got so much population here.

Make God help us.

phemmyjohnson:
Yea! That's my fear, "population"
If this epidemic goes out of hand
we can averagely forsee hundreds of pipu getting infected on daily basis
Only God can help us now..

phemmyjohnson:
em no wan die
But if they don't volunteer
Who will??
Those not trained as nurses??
Jez one of the reasons european nations keep looking down on us ..
