PORT HARCOURT—A medical doctor with Rivers State- owned Braithwait Memorial Specialist Hospital, BMH, Dr. Livy Ijamala, has died from Lassa Fever, bringing to three the number of people killed by the disease in the state. Chairman of the state branch of Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, Dr. Furo Green, disclosed this yesterday in Port Harcourt, saying the late doctor, Ijamala, who died in the early hours of yesterday from the ailment, had contact with patients infected with Lassa Fever.

He also said a team from WHO had already visited the hospital for assessment, adding that the hospital had been decontaminated and that those who had contacts with the late Dr. Ijamala had been placed on observation.

God help medical personnel.The other day some people were mocking that some medical personnel ran away from a suspected Lassa fever patient.Well,they shouldn't run but take extra pre-caution.Now the man's family has lost a breadwinner. The world is troubled. End time occurrences. |
