9jaRealist:Since the govt has failed to rise to its responsibilities by providing the PPE, the nurses had to improvise. That's how far the frontline workers could go to save lives...they couldn't have just abandoned those patients unattended naw. Had they left the covid-19 patients to die due to lack of PPE? Nigerians would have still attacked them. Rather than reprimand them, I salute their courage... There are a lot going on at various isolation centres which neither NCDC nor the PTF would tell you. Unfortunately we have inept people in government. Instead of inviting those Chinese drs at such a huge cost, why not use the money to bring in PPE. Are you aware our front line workers wash and reuse PPE? It's that bad. I doubt if the chinese drs' mission was related to covid-19 as the fed govt claimed. Our govt are stupid liars. 1 Like |

SocialJustice: If you really understand how contagious this virus is and how easily it's transmitted you won't suggest this at all. Seeing them on surgical mask (instead off FFP-3 or N95 masks), without face shield (eyes exposed) and bare skin while attending to a suspected COVID-19 case fill me with rage for Govt mixed with pity for their lives. With all the PPE we have lost more 100 healthcare workers in the UK (with more than 30% of the HCWs testing positive). Italy has lost more than 200 of it's healthcare workers too. There's no alternative to appropriate PPE. Govt should do the right thing or have their staff down their tools. I for one would never be close to any patient this period COVID-19 or not without an appropriate PPE. It's an act of wickedness not to provide adequate and appropriate PPE to any frontline personnel. |

9jaRealist: I'm afraid but that's not the standard as clearly defined by WHO. B4 suspected COVID-19 surgical or other face mask beside N95 or FFP3 mask has been shown to be useless. If they are tending to an unsuspected case with other medical illness then surgical or other masks will suffice (though still not safe) but in a case of suspected COVID-19 they should be donned on appropriate PPE b4 coming close to such patient; that's the standard... Now you understand the true meaning of frontline workers cos you can't tell what's to come. It's akin to a soldier in a battle field.. |

fairfora: But nobody is reprimanding them... Even standard PPE is not a 100% guarantee against infection... But it is important not to provide a false sense of bio security to folks, which would make an already dangerous situation even moreso. Courage is admirable, but simply not enough against Covid. > 1 Like |

joyfullyjoyous: Anything short of standard PPE is a suicide mission cos even with appropriate PPE HCWs all over the world are still massively infected and many have died and continue dying. Unfortunately this is not one of those cases when improvisation suffices. It's a clear suicide mission and this is fact. 1 Like |

9jaRealist: Your statement that FMC Abeokuta not being a designated COVID-19 treatment centre might have negated them from being supplied the standard PPE. It's not the standard. Any institution that caters for the health of the masses or that of the elderly or vulnerable population ought to have the full appropriate standard PPE. That's the guideline |

Jelzin2412: Jelzin2412: Nigeria has designated Covid treatment centers... Given the worldwide shortage of PPE, Nigeria prioritizes these for those centers (albeit not exclusively). EVERY SINGLE news conference by Nigerian public health authorities admonishes private and public hospitals NOT to treat suspected Covid patients but to immediately isolate them and contact the NCDC or other appropriate authorities. And yet, many of the Covid deaths in Nigeria have been patients who were initially being treated at private hospitals or clinics, until their symptoms became unmanageable or critical. > |
