Leopantro: ‘National Hospital has no quarantine centre’

AUGUST 9, 2014 BY SUNDAY ABORISADE AND ADE ADESOMOJU, ABUJA


The Federal Government has yet to create a quarantine centre for the treatment of persons suspected to have been infected with the deadly Ebola virus disease.

Spokesperson for the National Hospital, Abuja, Dr. Tayo Haastrup, who stated this in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, however, said that the Federal Ministry of Health had established centres in collaboration with some private health facilities in the nation’s capital city.

tellwisdom: Why them no go run. Make una come kill them as una kill their sister

Missy89: So the Americans were transported to their country and are now in full recovery while dead bodies keep piling up on the streets of Liberia and suspected patients are on the run in Nigeria. ignorant citizens are consuming too much salt and running to churches. mediocre comedians are making meaningless jokes while evil entrepreneurs are making fake products. Africa is really a basket case

Begging for drugs like beggars. while doctors are on their heels (incredible!!!)

In few months you will see some fuvktards talking about one imaginary Africans that built empires and started civilizations

19naia:

the gross speculation is to chase those people around under speculation that they are infected.. Its speculation to say they are infeected until they are tested.. Furthermore.. It is the doctors and nurses of your so called WHO and CDC impeccable procedure/protocol that are becoming confirmed infected and at risk of spreading to their very own patients and even the suspected patients who are not even infected..
Two american doctors, one liberian and one Nigerian nurse and doctor..

Your are disoriented to think people should not even consider running from Ebola doctors and nurses when the doctors and nurses are the only ones Confirmed so far to have it... The confirmed reality is that the Health workers ,chasing down innocent suspects, have the only proven cases of infection among themselves... The non speculative confirmed cases in Nigeria would lead any clear considering person to stay away from the health authorities who run around chasing Ebola and catching the disease themselves.. if they haven't proven that they don't catch the disease themselves in the treatment and quarantine environment, its only speculation for the health officials to say they can keep patients from cross infection..
Think clearly and stop trying to simply dominate with your opinion.. People aren't wild animals to be chased down like vermin under the speculated suspicion that they are infected... the health workers are the ones most proven to be the ones likely to have the infection and spread it to their captive patients or innocent suspected patients.. Maybe you are an Enola health worker and a risk to people
You speak from fear and hysteria and not concern for anybody but your self.. and that my friend is rubbish

Oya...where all those people that said that Nigeria is the best place to live?

Small small..God go dey open Nigeria nyash.

U think say Ebola sabi which one be blind patriotism? Even all the healing ministries and prayer warriors are on the run too. LOL.

Places wey get government don take preemptive actions while una own still dey more interested in Osun state.

Boko Haram exposed your security...Ebola don expose your healthcare....Aviation don tey when Sosoliso/Bellview,etc. exposed them.

Who knows the next exposure? Like I always say, Nigerians can only learn the hardway.

Foreign countries donate money for academic researches, una collect and use am buy fancy cars...

and turn around and call them mugu/maga. The citizens clap at your "ingenuity".

Now the chicken has come home to roost. Why you dey beg oyibo for medications?

Who is fooling who? Black people sef!!!

born2fuck: you still dey speak Oyinbo for where Ebola dey rule, make dem run enter your backyard, you go speak Japanese by force. Absconding ko? Abukandi ni

eaglechild:

I haven't seen so much rubbish put in words before.

I am giving you facts as a professional.

You are here advising contacts to flee because health care workers will infect them.

Is it that our educational system has been totally destroyed that nothing good can come out of it.?

Okeikpu: Yoruba pple wt run-run things... always running when nothing is after dem (-.- A nwo wele!

donnypool: put their damn picture to the public, and in the next two days they will probably be found dead or alive, but i know nigerians they will surely be found burnt

19naia:

I am not giving advice to anyb8. What about health workers? How should they protect themselves while caring for patients?

Health workers treating patients with suspected or confirmed illness are at higher risk of infection than other groups. During an outbreak a number of important actions will reduce or stop the spread of the virus and protect health workers and others in the health-care setting. These actions are called “standard and other additional precautions” and are evidence-based recommendations known to prevent the spread of infections. The following questions and answers describe the precautions in detail.

Should patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus be separated from other patients?
Isolating patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease in single isolation rooms is recommended. Where isolation rooms are not available, it is important to assign designated areas, separate from other patients, for suspected and confirmed cases. In these designated areas, suspect and confirmed cases should also be separate. Access to these areas should be restricted, needed equipment should be dedicated strictly to suspected and confirmed EVD treatment areas, and clinical and non-clinical personnel should be exclusively assigned to isolation rooms and dedicated areas.

Are visitors allowed in areas where patients suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease are admitted?
Stopping visitor access to patients infected with EVD is preferred. If this is not possible, access should be given only to those individuals who are necessary for the patient’s well-being and care, such as a child’s parent.

Is protective equipment required when caring for these patients?
In addition to standard health-care precautions, health-care workers should strictly apply recommended infection control measures to avoid exposure to infected blood, fluids, or contaminated environments or objects – such as a patient’s soiled linen or used needles.
All visitors and health-care workers should rigorously use what is known as personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE should include at least: gloves, an impermeable gown, boots/closed shoes with overshoes, a mask, and eye protection for splashes (goggles or face shields).
Is hand hygiene important?
Hand hygiene is essential and should be performed:

before donning gloves and wearing PPE on entry to the isolation room/area;
before any clean or aseptic procedures is being performed on a patient;
after any exposure risk or actual exposure with a patient’s blood or body fluids;
after touching (even potentially) contaminated surfaces, items, or equipment in the patient’s surroundings; and
after removal of PPE, upon leaving the isolation area
It is important to note that neglecting to perform hand hygiene after removing PPE will reduce or negate any benefits of the PPE.

Either an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and running water can be used for hand hygiene, applying the correct technique recommended by WHO. It is important to always perform hand hygiene with soap and running water when hands are visibly soiled. Alcohol-based hand rubs should be made available at every point of care (at the entrance and within the isolation rooms and areas); running water, soap, and single use towels should also be always available.ody..To flee or not to flee. I am for people making their own choice with perspective independent of only the media and professional propaganda... I am stating the reasons established for why the people would be fleeing..
Its established that the Health professionals are the source of the spread beyond the first Liberian man..

And even if you are a professional, it doesn't mean anything more than you are liable to malpractice and as i have just witnessed presidential and congressional inquest of gross negligence and dereliction of medical duties in a $55 billion a year medical organization here in USA.. they allowed patients to die and go untreated because they were trying to save money to give themselves bonuses from the money they saved not treating patients.. I was a patient in the same system before and i know the worth of professionalism when it comes to surviving with innate instincts..
Keep touting professionalism, but i will wait for posterity to determine what stands in this pressing issue of Ebola outbreak...
If you want je to respect you as a health Professional, then find the cure or a foul proof containment protocol.. Then i will respect your claim to Professional self worth.. If you say you cant, then i say you cant be my health Professional in this matter.. I have seen head doctors sacked for incompetence related to my case files before.. And thats not the only professional fiascos i have witnessed trying to tell me contrary to what i instinctively knew to be true...

whitecat007: I know you ibos will be the first to bring tribe to it, you just can't help it, I really hope the walking blind here see where it started when it becomes tribal bashing thread. No hospital can cure you. We will continue to hunt you ibos in every area till the last ibo leave this earth

Last time I check, ibos are the road runners in Nigeria. You will soon start running. I'm sure the running man and kids are evil ibos who have run to iboland to share the goodies with the rest of their family.

swezenberg: It is easy for those of us who have not cotracted the disease to rain insults on the affected families because we don't have it. Let me ask you this question. Would you trust the Nigerian government with your life if you were the nurse. The American doctor and health worker trusted their government and they were flown back to the state where they were well taken care of. Right now they are in good shape.

Can we trust the present government with lives having witnessed countless kilings up north this year alone and knowing fully well that those who have other less life threathening ailments are still dying like fouls in our hospitals.

My assumption is that they will just be isolated in an area and abandoned while the government keeps promising them help will come from the west. I know my country. I may be wrong though!

eaglechild:

The bolded is WRONG.

Healthcare professionals are most at risk of contracting the disease simply because they come in contact with already sick patients and that is what happened with Sawyer.
No matter how you tried to rationalise people fleeing for treatment it is WRONG.
This is what went through Sawyer's head and he fled now look what has happened.

Healthcare workers are also not likely to transmit it because the disease becomes transmissible when the patient is very Ill and as the records have it all the healthcare professionals who were exposed to Sawyer willingly submitted to quarantine even before they bacame symptomatic because they fully understand that it is their by best chance of survival, therefore it unlikely that they will transmit the disease.
Recall that the American doctor and the Sierra leonian doctor also just like the healthcare workees in Nigeria willingly quarantine themselves.

It is extremely callous of you to speculate that someone who willingly volunteers to care for Ebola patients knowing the tremendous risks involved to himself and family will want to deliberately or even unwittingly spread the disease.
Remember that strict adherence to laid down safety guidelines in this particular case protects the healthworker himself who is most at risk.

You also speak as though healthcare workers are not human beings and do not also have the human instinct of self preservation.

In cases of such outbreaks their are established protocols which I can tell you categorically are being adhered to in the Nigerian case.

It will be too long to start giving you details.

But confirmed and unconfirmed cases are cared for separately and individually.

Their are different gradations of contacts which are handled differently.


Do not always assume that everything Nigerian is bad and NEVER you assume that the popular view or belief is the correct one.
I am not touting professionalism.
I am only passionate that people are not misled.

It has already cost a lot of lives.
