Lagos now fully ready for patients, says Fashola Posted by: Our Reporter in Featured, News 13 hours ago Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State said yesterday that the state is now fully prepared to handle patients with symptoms of Ebola. The governor, on an early morning inspection visit to the Isolation Ward prepared for such patients, said the facility is ready for use. Flanked by the Commissioners for Health, Dr Jide Idris; Special Duties, Dr Wale Ahmed; and Special Adviser on Public Health, Dr Yewande Adeshina,Fashola told newsmen that the state has a health challenge on its hands and owes it a duty to prevent an outbreak of Ebola . The governor, who interacted with some of the health workers, expressed appreciation for the work they are doing. Governor Fashola, who also expressed delight at the report that the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has called off its industrial action, expressed the optimism that the members would come and sign up in the battle against the disease. He emphasized that the Ebola Virus Disease, as devastating as its consequences can be, is not an automatic death sentence, explaining that the consequence of death would depend on what is done and what is not done. He stressed that there are already reported cases of patients who are recovering in other parts of West Africa and that the issue is about being able to respond to it appropriately and taking precautions. He spoke on other measures to keep the state safe from Ebola. ”We are also taking precautions and that is also why we did not go into where the patients are because there is a very strict protocol for going there. So if you are going there, you must wear a fully protected gown. In the place where we are expanding to ensure that we are able to cope with anything that comes, you would see the shower there; people have to go through a protocol, one way in, one way out. That is why you cannot go into where patients are now unless you are fully protected appropriately and unless you walk through the mandated process for going in and for coming out. “Those who are detoxifying and decontaminating, they don’t go in. They are waiting outside and those who go in do so under a very rigorous protocol set up with advice from the Centre for Disease Control. Provisions have already been made so that we can separate very critically ill people from people who are just showing symptoms, but who need to be in isolation. ”Now from what the Centre for Disease Control told me yesterday, there is no known cure, but if it is known and diagnosed early, patients can make full recovery because here you can give them very intense medical care which involves managing their waste, managing their body fluids, giving them antibiotics and fluids to rehydrate their body and to ensure that their immune system is able to find a standing chance to combat and make full recovery as we have seen in some parts of Liberia and Sierra Leone. ”Secondly, if such people get to the hospital early and treated, the disease could be contained. The risk in not doing that could be far reaching and for that we must be thankful that the hospital acted professionally and reported that case,”he said. Fashola asked private hospitals to develop a first line of defence immediately on how to handle Ebola cases. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/lagos-now-fully-ready-for-patients-says-fashola/ 1 Like |

This is what he calls ready? 1 bungalow I saw wrapped with cellophane?   Since no hospital in Lagos has a special ward the place is suppose to be fully covered the workers fully covered with protective gear not gowns. He is just reciting advice from Atlanta based CDC web-site and he claims to be fully ready? 1 Like

biafranqueen: This is what he calls ready? 1 bungalow I saw wrapped in plastic? Another mindless educated illiterate expects fashola to build a complete level 5 quarantine center (a project that would take over a year) by which time most of us would be dead. The immediate requirement is to quarantine any suspected cases. You can quarantine a person in an area the size of a room. That need be been met. You probably expect fash to 'committee' or 'deny' until half of logos is dead This is a link to Cdc recommended guidelines for African health care settings http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/pdf/african-healthcare-setting-vhf.pdf 17 Likes |

oyb: I expect him to have built hospitals that could handle this since he has been in power for how many years again? Keep making excuses so Lagos Government just heard about Ebola in neighboring countries two weeks ago shame on you people for making excuses for a lack of true Governance. If this guy was not an American Liberian we probably would not have even heard anything until now. Keep supporting thieves. It is better to be proactive than reactive. Almost all the Politicians in that country are useless. 1 Like |

they will need specially trained doctors and scientists to handle such cases, or else all involved, both healthcare team and patients, will simply end up in the same place unless they are lucky to survive the virus. in the meantime, maybe asking central africa how they handled their outbreaks, might give an inkling. but for now, not sure what else can be done besides isolate the patients. even the specially trained teams are still falling sick. 2 Likes |

Funny enough, this silly clown's village leader and is yet to build ordinary cage to protect his people. Even your useless FG is receiving Ebola lecture and leadership qualities from Fashola. Fashola is the only credible leader in Nigeria aggressively confronting the ebola situation while you lap dog and errand boy boy leaders are still looking for leadership and direction. Lagos state is ready, is your village ready and shouldn't your primary concern be your village people getting similar help and attention in case ebola shows up. We know you people are not only zombies, but you are also shallow and low mentality jokers spewing rubbish just for attention. 14 Likes |

TribalEAST: pls show us what the 5 governors of SE alaigbo have put in place since.You dey mind am?? She doesn't realize that Fashola's actions are what's standing between Ebola and her Biafra, should one infected person travel home(and na dem dey travel go house pass), that person might infect people on the bus and on their arrival, voila!!!!!........."Ebola, welcome to the South East"!!!!! Instead of her worrying about her Governor's plan to combat the menace, she's here condeming Fashola. Don't worry, it starts with a fever and it doesn't respect anyone, rich or poor or from the South east. If it could travel from Liberia to Nigeria, a trip to the S.E won't be a problem for it. Better start praying your Governors are ready. And the annoying thing is they might bring it back again to the South west in their travels. 5 Likes |

biafranqueen: He is not fully ready to fight Ebola period that is the point. He said he is ready I said he is not, pictures shows he is not, facts shows he is not. What kind of structure do u expect him to build in just 2weeks. By the way, when it comes to issue of health care especially in epidemic like this, the emphasy is on function not on structure. Outbreak such as that of Ebola requires swift response from all tiers of government so we need to appreciate all of them for what they've done so far in Nigeria both Lagos state and Fog. And if at all u want to blame anyone , that should be the ministry of health and FG. Let's be careful the way we politicisize Ebola 4 Likes |

U see your reference now, 'doctors without borde' international health organisation, believe me they have the fund, if its all about building mansion but we all know that the case here is not structure, adequate equipment and medication ,with good poersoinnels is what we need and that is being provided. About flowing through Ibadan, I want to assume u are just joking, else u be jus forfeited the the effort of WHO and co in passing in formations about Ebola, the last time I checked more than50 buses move from Lagos to Enugu daily, there is international airport at Enugu , which can receive flight from any of the WA countries. So the earlier we stop tribalizing or politicising Ebola the better for all of us |

For God sake!!! When will you people begin to move away from this malevolent obsession with Lagos and Fashola? Did someone not just mention that you are based in Enugu? Should you not be concerned about your own governor's efforts instead of coming here to confuse yourself via postulating stupid arguments that makes it obvious Fashola is the centre of your world to the point you mistake him to be your governor and President rolled into one. Tpia1 has already pointed this out your 'Confusion' to you yet you continue to talk inane crap that shows you view Fashola to be in charge of the entire nation. All this is doubly tragic considering the clannish support you and others host for the indolent, highly inept and inefficiently reactionary GEJ. Na real wa for you guys sha and your eternal 'mission'. You are just terribly confused and pathetic. Go and worry about your state and region abeg. Na curse? 4 Likes |

What sort of quarantine center do you expect?skyscapers rivalling trump towers?how low can you get?you expect sheraton to be converted to a quarantine center?or you expect them to start building a quarantine center which they will take ages to build and then still have to destroy after the disease is fully contained.perhaps you expect the quarantine center to be in space.or the moon.you obviously need help with your addiction to ignorance and falshood. 3 Likes |
