Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has shed more light on the outbreak of Monkeypox virus in the country.

ALEDEH recalls that the dreaded disease broke out first in Bayelsa, Southern Nigeria before suspected cases of the virus was reported in Rivers State, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ekiti, Lagos, Enugu, Nasarawa, and Abuja.

On October 16, a monkeypox patient committed suicide at the Niger Delta University Teaching University, Okolobiri, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria.

Reacting to the development in an interview with Nigeria’s burgeoning online integrated media platform, ALEDEH, Prof. Adewole said the Monkeypox virus has created so “much scare” because of the way the media has handled the outbreak of the disease in the country.

The professor of Gynaecology and Obstetrics who had a chat with Sulaiman Aledeh, the publisher of www.aledeh.com.ng, also spoke on the last industrial action by the health unions, the alleged ban on private practice by doctors working with the Federal Government, kidney merchant hospitals and much more.
