W’african Nations Approach Lagosfor Help by haconjy(m): 6:54am On Sep 12, 2014 |
Some West African countries where Ebola Virus Disease is currently spreading have contacted the Lagos State Government for assistance on how to contain the deadly virus. The Deputy Director, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Mrs. Omowunmi George, who stated this in Lagos, also noted that the survival rate of the detected and quarantined victims in Lagos had been the highest among areas so far afflicted with the virus. She spoke at an Ebola awareness campaign in Ikorodu. George said out of 15 confirmed cases in Lagos, only five had died and virtually others had been assisted to overcome. She said, “What we did was to get everybody on duty at the airport when Sawyer came in; we got their numbers and contacted them; brought them a thermometer each to start monitoring their temperature; surely, their temperature will go up. “Immediately they reported high temperature, they would be picked up and quarantined to prevent them from having any contact with other people.” She explained that it was easy to assist those who reported early to get over the problem and urged people to call the Ebola helpline once they suspected or saw anybody showing Ebola symptoms. |

All they'd get is advice on what to do. The situation in their respective nations is already well beyond our ability. At the very least a 100 medical professionals for each of the infected country is required, surely we can' t provide this. If anything the whole world should be involved, and the experimental treatments/drugs should be made available. . . Anything other than this would simply see us generously donating ewedu and bitter kola in huge quantities. |
