Abuja – The Federal Capital Territory
Administration (FCTA) says it has not
yet recorded any case of Lassa fever in the
territory.
The FCT’s Director of Public Health, Dr
Humphrey Okoroukwu made this
known in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on
Friday.
He dismissed the speculation on the reported
case of Lass fever in Asokoro
General Hospital as “false”.
Okoroukwu explained that some samples of the
suspected cases were taken
to Irrua Laboratory in Edo State and the result
was negative, while that of
another suspected cases admitted in one of the
hospitals in FCT was being
awaited.
According to him, the FCTA has deployed its
Health Promotion Education
Team to sensitise residents in markets, motor
parks, schools and streets on
the causes and symptoms on Lassa fever for
them to take proactive measures
against the deadly disease.
He said that his department had begun
Facility-Based Clinical Sensitisations
in hospitals to educate medical personnel and
other health workers about
Lassa Fever which had been reported in some
states across the federation.
Okoroukwu noted that the sensitisation was
because some doctors had died
as a result of the disease outbreak in other
states.
“We have been going from one hospital to the
other to sensitise our medical
professionals on how they can identify and
handle suspected cases.
“We have Disease Surveillance Structure in
communities, wards and area
councils, we have sensitised them and they are
on red alert,” he said.
The director stressed that the proactive
measures were necessary because of
the territory’s proximity with Kogi and
Nasarawa states where cases of Lassa
fever had been reported.
Okoroukwu assured the residents that the
administration was doing everything
possible to prevent Lassa fever outbreak in the
FCT.
