lekanolas: The Lagos State Government has declared its resolve not to use any drug other than the American ZMAPP for the Ebola patients in its custody.

The Commissioner of Health, Dr Jide idris, disclosed this on Friday.

As at Friday evening, it was still sketchy if the drug has arrived the shores of Nigeria.

Dr Idris said the Nano Silver being suggested by the Federal Government by a Nigerian scientist is a natural health product and the state is not ready to take chances with the health of the patients at all.

“Should we have access to ZMAPP now, right away, we will start the administration on the patients.

“We are attending a meeting soon with the Task Force on Ebola to know if the ZMAPP drug is available as stated by the Federal government,”Idris said.

Meanwhile, Idris disclosed yesterday that First Consultant Hospital where the first case of EVD occurred would be reopened soon.

This, he said, followed the mandatory three rounds of state certified decontamination process.

He said the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Clinic, was shut after the detection of a confirmed case of the disease at the facility.

He said the state would facilitate the decontamination process of the clinic, adding: “25 patients and health workers at the facility when the case was detected are presently under surveillance.”.

USA IS BETTER THAN NIGERIA IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS AND YOUR PAYMASTER ATTESTED TO IT.

SO YOU EXPECT LAGOS GOVERNMENT TO PROVE USA WRONG ON HUMANS LIFE.

Symphony007: Your government came to you and said a "nigerian scientist in diaspora" donated this drug. Who knows his name, his company, which country exactly is he in?....when you administer an untested drug on patients and rather than cure the virus, multiply it and even make it airbone, who will you run to?

HAH: The person that developed that nano is a fraud just like Dr Abalaka that said he can cure AIDS in 1999-2000

oluwasegunfummi: this statement is coming from a lowlife inferior maggot, don't take him serious, keep looking down on yourself.........eko o ni baje oooo

Haishophem: Does that mean that we have no scientist that can test the effectiveness of Nanosilver, as done with Zmapp on monkeys. Inferiority complex @ it's highest order. The western world wants this and it's happening already, they want African countries to come begging for the drug after launching out this EVD attack on the continent. Even if there's a certified drug from NAFDAC for EVD and un certified from America's FDA then does mean that Lagos state govt will reject same?

A study published in November 2013, found that Ebola virus infected macaque monkeys survived after being given a therapy with a combination of 3 EBOV-GP-specific monoclonal antibodies (ZMAb), within 24 hours of infection. Also, two of four other monkeys that started therapy within 48 hours after infection also survived. The authors concluded that post-exposure treatment and a second lethal exposure after 10 and 13 weeks resulted in a robust immune response. (wikipedia)
The spanish priest probably died because his treatment with zmapp started late or he was too old ( he was 75) for his body to provide any immune response to the virus.

Please can you provide any literature on the treatment of ebola with Nanosilver?

I dont think they would either. I'm just saying I know Fashola would never support the use of the trial drugs.
what beats my imagination is the way these people (US) volunteered to help us with the US troop for the Chibok girls thingy (which they never helped us find anyways) and now cant help us with the drugs

BedLam: And who the ffuck told you that? US abi? Stay here and wait for them to come give you cure! Olodo!
