An enquiry into the cause of total blindness in 10 patients in a Kaduna eye centre.
Medical experts at a tertiary health institution in Kaduna State are now working round the clock to unveil the circumstances leading to the total blindness of 10 out-patients after they were injected with a drug the same day.
The victims, who are regular patients of the National Eye Centre, Kaduna became totally blind the same day they received injections for eye-related problems.

Once the incident happened, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) intervened and took the drug for a test. The agency’s findings are being awaited.

Shocked by the development, the hospital management recalled all the affected patients and placed them on free treatment and feeding.

LEADERSHIP Weekend gathered that despite the efforts of the hospital management, none of the patients is yet to regain his or her sight.

A source said that when the incident occurred, NAFDAC went to the hospital within 48 hours and took a sample of the drug that was administered on the male and female patients including the one that was not opened for investigation and analysis.

The sad incident reportedly took place in May this year.

Some of the victims, who narrated their experiences to LEADERSHIP Weekend, said they were still in shock on how they suddenly became blind after taking the injection.

They said that they were yet to get satisfactory explanations on the cause(s) of their blindness the same day after they were injected with a drug in the same bottle.

The management of the hospital said they were not leaving any stone unturned to ensure that the victims regain their sight.

The hospital management said they have embarked on a thorough investigation to unravel the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident.

The chief medical director (CMD), Dr. Mahmoud Alhassan, said that the hospital had been injecting other patients with the same drug without any problem.

The injection they were given is the same drug we use to give to patients to reduce bleeding in the eye, especially for diabetics and other patients.

He said: “Interestingly, this is the second, third and last time some of them are taking this particular drug and these reactions just took place.

“The drug is made by Russians. One of the patients complained that her vision had gone down so she came and we thought it was abnormal reactions; we treated it as an infection. We took actions and gave them drugs.

“We still have to clean the eyes, their vision will come back, the CMD said.

Alhassan, who confirmed that NAFDAC came to the hospital within 48 hours of the incident and took samples of the drug, said that it included the used and the unused drugs.

“The point is that these eyes are severely affected eyes. Their vision is poor and we are trying to help them. We have been talking to them and doing our best but it might take two to three months to achieve the desired results because eyes heal gradually. They will be able to get them back,” he said.

“In fact, two of them are very happy now because their situation is now better than it was before. Aside the medical efforts we are making, we are also carrying out necessary investigation, we are not happy with the situation and we will address it accordingly,” he said.

Meanwhile, the patients who until the sad occurrence were out-patients and received same injection at one point or the other without any implications, said that they were yet to recover from the shock.
They questioned the rationale behind the incident as they admitted that they had been receiving the injection but now with no satisfactory explanation as to the cause of the blindness to all of them that were injected the same day.

What could be the cause of this total blindness? Could the drug be expired, adulterated or contaminated? Is it the right drug or it was wrongly labelled by the manufacturers. The cause of this incidence must be investigated by the NAFDAC and report released to the public.

. Nothing will ever work in Nigeria until we revolt!

badman007:
We can make Nigeria heaven on earth, it is up to us...

99% are still waiting for God

. That is our problem, we pray more than we work. Nigerians keep shouting "God come and help us" while other nations are busy making progress, isn't it obvious that we need blood to cleanse this country? Let's take the fight to them, let every jobless youth, which I'm very sure is more than 70% of Nigerian youths march to their state assembly, the ones in Abuja to the national Assembly. Let's shut down the country ones and for all, we have nothing to lose but they have everything to lose. Let blood flow, their blood and that of their children, let's do that and see how people will be trembling to hold public offices.

Another rubbish from infinix, mediatek processor in this age coupled with 3500Mah battery capacity when some areas don't have electricity for days and weeks.

. Don't worry, infinix will come and give you light in Nigeria, even if they make 20000Mah, you will still have flat batteries in Nigeria

Poverty in Nigeria keeps you awake at night, but it never stop you and your cohorts from allocating billions of naira to yourselves for travel, feeding and even newspaper. Oga don't worry, sleep now when you can cos very soon you'll lose more than your sleep. Animals!

freemanbubble:
There is no God you idiot
For every day we live without dying is just luck

The day you were born
Thousands were born that same day
But hundreds of them are gone.
And tomorrow it might be minus one again.

For every day we live we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die
For the fact that you are alive is not the grace of One fuckkking God

You are are just lucky

Good for you nr know all

The question is, was it necessary for the hill to be levelled?

Could some other route not have been made?

Well, if the residents are happy with it...

. Of what benefit was the hill to you?

DonFebzyBlog:
I am in Togo at the moment for my usual business and the information given is very wrong. A Nigerian guy who was dating a Togolese girl had issues with the girl and they both stabbed themselves. The girl decided to call her Togolese street tugs but the Nigerian boyfriend had already left the house so they attacked the other Nigerians staying in the house. They wanted to turn the story to a rape matter but people already knew the story and that brought about the intervention of the police and the Nigerian embassy.

Please no one was killed and they are not attacking or manhunting Nigerians or anything of such. The Togolese government is even involved in the matter and some of the Togolese guys involved in the issue have been arrested. As we speak the said girl who caused the issue is on the run and they are looking for her.


Thank you.

Thank you

Three of them failed brake at the same time? How's even possible?

Oga keep quiet, you all are the problems of this shit hole, had your Jonathan not failed woefully, even hundred tinubus would not have succeeded in decieving Nigerians into voting the lifeless one. But I promise you and your type one thing, one day, the fire will burn, it will burn so hard that no one will be able to put it out, it will consume you all, the road will be blocked, the sea will not be accessible, and the air? Even birds won't fly, let alone plane. Watch out!

Abeg enough of all this twerking, this one twerk for Buhari that one twerk for atiku, this one again for sanwo. Another thing no dey apart from this twerkimg? Abi una wan make me sef start to twerk come from Libya to sambisa?

. Not all of them are crazy after all

essenceplus:
There are pallatives that can be employed to avoid such occurrences. We have Lastma on the road, the state govt should order Lastma with power to control and inspect these guys. U latched trucks should be arrested. Trucks without brakes banned from the roads, trucks beyond certain number of years banned. Emergency road repairs permanently in routes where containers pass often.

. This is just one out of a million problems we battle with everyday, no light, no water, no jobs, insecurity everywhere, no accommodation, poor roads, poor education system that's still getting poorer by the day, cultism in our schools and even on the streets, its difficult to pay 30,000 minimum wage but easy to allocate over 19 billion to some few individuals to buy furniture, where do we start from?

Happy birthday to you, maybe, just maybe there's still a little hope for this fast decaying generation where ladies no longer see anything wrong in going naked for the whole world to see in the name of birthday celebration. Happy birthday to you once again, I wish you success in all you do

omonla10:
The past and present leaders of this country should be lined up and flogged. U can only imagine the kind of prayers I pray daily before leaving for tincan apapa .like person wey dey go war front.. working in apapa should be listed amongst d 1000 ways to die..the roads are the worst u can ever think of..with aged trailers plying d roads..

Any serious govt should place the apapa roads project as a priority or even declare state of emergency as apapa generates arguably the 2nd highest income for our country

. Flogged? I disagree with unless you meant to say flogged till death

gambia:
Failed state, what do u expect?

South Africans should chill with this their incessant igbo-killings. Are they the only ones in S.A?? It's becoming too much.

. I think the question should be directed to your kinsmen "why always us?"

Why always Igbo? Are they the only Nigerian tribe in South Africa?, same in Ghana and every other place. Can we just divide this country already

Erediauwa:
I feel there's a strong conspiracy here as this case is almost similar to the celebrated sex-for-grade scandal that rocked my alma mata (Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma) 9yrs ago involving Engr. Otubu of Electrical Electronic department and one female student which the latter connived with her sister and some accomplice to accuse the lecturer and detain him unlawfully. The sisters were jailed for false accusations.

Though there are some randy he-goats parading themselves as lecturers but I will love to see the call log of conversation between the EKSU lecturer and the student.

But again, I will blame the lecturer to have gone to the room of the studen... He is now suffering for the sin of immorality which resulted in this show of shame, humiliation and tortyure which will leave his career ruin.

. You should be a judge

Mraphel:
Yorubas are the most charitable and accomodating tribe in Nigeria. West side is the best side.
