Ebola: Why U.S. Won’t Give Nigeria Experimental Drug, Zmapp — U.S. Ambassador by Tunjasko(m): 6:33am On Aug 19, 2014 |
The American Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, on Monday said his country was not yet in a position to make the Ebola Disease experimental drug, Zmapp, available to Nigeria. Mr. Entwistle said during a visit to the Nigerian Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, that the drug was not yet available in sufficient quantity to go round all the countries requesting it. The ambassador did not say when the drug would be available for Africa’s most populous country. He only advised the Nigerian health ministry to focus on isolation, screening and prevention. Mr. Entwistle commended the efforts of the Federal Government in curbing the spread of the Ebola virus in the country. He said the aim of the visit was to discuss further on the anti-Ebola cooperation between the U.S government and the Nigerian government. The ambassador also praised the work done at the emergency operation centre and the isolation centre, saying he understood that they were working hard. “You have all seen the headlines over the weekend, this is an issue that we have to keep working hard on, it may be with us for a while but there are some encouraging signs. “Your government is doing a good job on contact tracing; I noticed when I flew back here on Thursday night into the country, before I left the plane I filed in the questionnaire. “I was very impressed because I had to put in my seat number which is a very good idea, so that if you have to trace the guy who was seating next to me you will know where I am. “I have been very impressed by this thing so I encourage the government of Nigeria to keep at it, which I know they will,” he said. Mr.Entwistle said the two countries had a broad partnership to keep collaborating, cooperating and working hard to make the world a better place. He said he could not think of a more important example of cooperation than the Ebola cooperation. Speaking during the visit, the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, said the Nigerian Government was withholding its approval for the Anti-Ebola drug Nano-Silver produced by a Nigerian because it did not meet the requirements of the National Health Research Ethics Code. He said that the Nano Silver drug, which was made available to the Emergency Operations Centre in Lagos on August 14, did not meet basic research requirements. “The experimental drug, Nano Silver did not meet the requirements of the National Health Research Ethics Code. “Accordingly, the approval was withheld by the National Health Research Ethics Committee,” Mr. Chukwu said. He said the ambassador’s visit was an opportunity to share ideas and information on Ebola virus. “He is the spokesperson for the United States’ government here in Nigeria, and so he came to me as the Chief Public Health Officer of the country to exchange views with me,” Mr. Chukwu said. The minister said Mr. Entwistle also visited to know if there was any new development that recently cropped up on the Ebola virus. https://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/166942-ebola-why-u-s-wont-give-nigeria-experimental-drug-zmapp-u-s-ambassador.html |

Patrick sawyer was intentionally sent to Nigeria to spread Ebola so that Nigeria will bow to pressure and reverse their anti gay law in a bid to get the ebola drugs frm USA. To hell wit America and their zmap, after calling our nano silver pesticide they refuse to push down their zmapp to us. Nigeria will overcome ebola and move on well without the help of America. 4 Likes |

So how did they know that it did not meet the Health Code? If I didn't remember any better, the Lagos state government rejected the drugs without prior testing. But all the same, Nigerians are one stubborn set of people who will withstand almost anything. If not for this nature, I wonder what would have been left of us--there were SARS, Bird flu, Swine flu, Polio, HIV and now Ebola(which we'll definitely contain). We are blessed. 6 Likes |

Countries are investing on education, health, infrastructure, human capital development etc. While in our own country Doctors/health workers, lecturers go on strike regularly because of Govt inability to serve the people. Govt in our country live and drown in corrupt enrichments. They steal up every Kobo meant for development. Anything we want, govt should invest so we can develop and begin to grow like other countries and not begging. No nation has developed by begging. 1 Like |

The way we announce any little progress we make is unhealthy, and this to hell usa shit, I think we should relax and take a deep breath. The forces acting behind this Ebola scene might be american or any other country, but when a witch torments you spiritually, you don't confront her physically but in the spirit by prayer. |
