The Management of St Joseph Hospital Adazi Nnukwu, Anaocha LGA in Anambra State, has come out to dissociate itself from rumours making waves that a patient suspected to show suspected symptoms of covid 19 absconded from the Hospital and whereabouts unknown.

According to the hospital's administrator, Rev Fr Jerome Okafor, the patient came in for some cardiovascular problem, but his persistent coughing out blood and high temperature aroused the curiosity of some nurses attending to him.

His blood sample was finally collected after some persistent appeals to NCDC who could not respond immediately, but through the direct intervention of the Chief Medical Director of Chukwu Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital whom some delegation from the hospital where sent after.

According to Fr Jerome, the patient was discharged against medical advice, paid his bills and left.

Below is the press release.

Hmmm

Nice One
