The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) says no health worker in Nigeria has received any life insurance from the federal government.

Abdurafiu Adeniji, president of NANNM, said almost 1000 nurses and midwives have been exposed to COVID-19 while about 200 are in isolation.

He said our health system is on the verge of being overhelmed. He also said that about 70 nurses and midwives have tested positive for COVID-19 and 200 others in isolation while 15 health workers have lost their lives to the disease.

“Over two thousand Nigerian health care professionals, especially nurses and doctors, have been exposed to COVID-19 while about 15 health care professionals have lost their lives,” Adeniji said.

“Our health care system appears to have been over-stretched and on the verge of being overwhelmed.

“The statistics as received through NANNM COVID-19 situation report room, almost one thousand nurses and midwives have been exposed to coronavirus, out of which about 200 are currently on isolation and about 70 out of about 600 that have been tested have tested positive. On the whole, about six nurses and midwives have lost their lives.

“There are also increase assaults on the nurses and midwives, hiding of medical/travel history as well as non-disclosure of contact with an infected individual when patient and relative present at the health care facilities.

“These further expose frontline health care professionals to infections, particularly COVID-19 in our resource constraint society.

“As we are talking, go and ask professional associations like Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), nurses, who are most affected, as at the last count, when we are saying about 15 people have died, the NMA alone was claiming 7 or 8.

“Nurses that are affected as of this morning are more than 250. This is not including the people that are in isolation. More than 25 percent of the total fatality from COVID-19 VID-19 are actually health workers.”

On the health insurance that the federal government said it has put in place for health workers, he said the government is merely paying lip service.

“The insurance that the federal government claimed to have put in place, I want to say unequivocally and without fear of retribution that what is on ground in Nigeria is just abracadabra,” he said.

“Concerning the life insurance, no health worker has ever filled any form. If the N11 billion is somewhere, I am sure that the federal government is keeping it.
