Ebola: FG To Train Health Workers From Liberia, Others by Tunjasko(m): 10:16pm On Sep 29, 2014 |
The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Monday said Nigeria would offer specialised training to 15 health personnel from three West African countries affected by the Ebola Virus Disease. Chukwu made this known when he received the African Union Commissioner for Social Affairs, Mr Mustapha Kaloko, in Abuja. He said the health personnel, comprising nine field epidemiologists and six laboratory scientists, would be selected from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The minister said the training, scheduled to take place in Nigeria, would last for three weeks, but did not disclose when the training would commence. He said the move was part of “a broader measure” taken by the Federal Government to assist those countries hit by the virus to contain its spread beyond their borders. “It is our belief that unless the virus is contained in the most affected countries, Nigeria will continue to be at risk because of its policy of non-restriction of movement across the sub-region. I believe that Nigeria should help its neighbours to contain the scourge, but for now, we are focusing on helping to build the capacity of the health workers in those countries at our own cost. “So, Nigeria will not rest until Ebola virus is completely tackled in West Africa,’’ he said. Chukwu said on the long run, countries around the sub-region would be encouraged to train more of its health workers using Nigerian facilities to build a stronger network against common diseases. The minister said the Federal Government was also planning “a more comprehensive masters programme for health personnel from countries in the sub-region that could last for up to two years.” He said that the effort was geared toward building the sub-region’s capacity to contain deadly diseases such as Ebola virus, HIV and Lasa fever. He said the Federal Government had procured drugs worth N50 million to be donated to Sierra Leone as part of Nigeria’s contribution to curb Ebola virus in the country. Chukwu said that Nigeria had also outlined a comprehensive programme to help its neighbours to successively fight Ebola virus. The minister expressed optimism that West Africa could stem the tide of Ebola virus within the shortest possible time, especially if countries were committed to the sub-regional’s plan of action against the disease. “Ebola virus in West Africa can be brought under control within the next six to seven months, if all countries in the sub-region work in unison,” Chukwu said. www.punchng.com/news/ebola-fg-to-train-health-workers-from-liberia-others/ 3 Likes |

As weird as this may sound it is actually good news. I know some of you would say stuff like "Have we even train our health workers?". If you know the critical condition the Liberia health sector is in now you would be happy for Nigeria. We should start acting like the "Regional power" we claim to be! He said the Federal Government had procuredWhoa! That is about $305,000! At least it is better we donate it than loot it. Even India with their bubbling economy only donate $500k to the whole of West africa, like seriously! 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Rikidony: What did we gain during ECOMOG RATHER THAN INSULT FROM THOSE COUNTRIES CITIZENS. FG SHOULD ALLOW THOSE COUNTRIES SOLVE THEIR ISSUESForget about their insults, no country in the world is immune to insults and unguided criticisms. They would always insult you! BTW we are even helping our self by helping them, We didn't restrict movement across the sub-region. They can bring the virus here again if we don't help. “It is our belief that unless the virus is contained in the most affected countries, Nigeria will continue to be at risk because of its policy of non-restriction of movement across the sub-region.

It is too early to gloat over this success. Lets us be strictly magnanimous, desiring nothing from others, as we curb the scourge at this point in time. We would get better. We have shamed the WHO backed Capitalist incursion to a rip-off through slight attack by raising the prevalence rate and then feeding from the masses with available Capitalist drugs #TheWorldisACapitalistWorld 2 Likes |

Doing that, we would be being giants. This is the kind of vibe that is healthy, not gists like 'Ebola might get worse before it gets better' or 'Nigeria's weak health sector confronts ebola' It won't be a bad idea if our ever able doctors go there on mission . I can hear doctors saying 'God forbid" |

Every Liberian/ Congolese/ Zambian coming into this country for training must be put under lock and key in quarantine for a period of not less than one month. When they're deemed not infected then they can bring them out for their training. Nigerians are not ready to bathe with salt again 19 Likes 3 Shares |
