l blame Jonathan's administration for this. chanji indeed

APC-all talk, no action.

Shame!

up to this moment , there is no clear emergency plan especially as regards widespread enlightenment of Nigerians.

You are obviously johesu! My advice to you is that you should go and read widely. The very pple who came up with this nonesense u have postulated are purely hypocritical...cuz when they wanted health care for their family, guess what? they insisted on a doctor's care.... Go and read up about this....

Consultant nurse kor, consultant cleaner ni... pls Google the word consultant nurse and come back to the forum to revert on what u read!
doctors by virtue of their training are the only ones who know each part of medicine... a nurse usually knows only her nursing, a pharmacist knows about drugs, a physiotherapist knows about physiotherapy....it is like that worldwide.. and that's why the requirements to enter medicine are that tough, we spend more years, and the training is also tough.... an allied health worker can never do a doctor's job but I can do all allied health worker's job, it can't be helped! During nurses strike, surgeons dress their wounds themselves... but if all the doctors strike the hospitals will close! Mind you, All doctors have never gone on strike before, all these doctors strikes u see, consultants (senior doctors) are still working.... But no worries since ur obviously johesu, I will leave you in your little bubble of consultant nurses and what not.

AreaFada2:
Ok.
But in developed climes, we talk of multidisciplinary team. We now have "nurse specialists, consultant nurse".....and so on.

Nurses are doing more specialised job, and delegating more jobs to nurses, provided they are trained to do so, is the way forward. Patients get treated quicker. Midwives now do a whole lot, and O&G docs don't not have to see some at all. Same with dialysis & to some extent with chemotherapy/radiotherapy.

Why this epistle? because you might be in a position in the health service some day bring progressive approach.

That way, the cat & mouse thing between docs & other healthcare professionals in 9ja will reduce.

ADvanced nurse practitioners in UK do everything that doctors do

Everything.

My fear is if you manage to keep your food stuffs very safe and secured st home,what is the safety conditions or storage conditions of the ones you buy afresh from the market? because I know a mart in my estate that when I visit late in the night ,I see rats as big as Garfield around the shop.

Or the ones you buy in traffic
Someone saw a rat bite sized hole in their gala wrapper so threw the whole thing away

Will you shut up already! Incompetent and inconsequential bunch of killers in white

Whilst buhari threatens Niger deltans that feed this agbaya nation with oil lassa fever is on the prowl taking the lives of many..

It will dawn on everyone that this government has a first class degree in misplacing priorities...

NoreenUG:
And not a word from Buhari.
'Leadership is not rocket science,' they said during their campaign.

we don't have a leader...We just have a man who has always wanted to rule nigeria for the second time..What can he say about lassa fever...what...It is only corruption that is in the brain of our president..Buhari would rather want to retrieve monies stolen (might end up being an exercise in futility) than deal with pestilences that claim the lives of his people...

humanbeing5th:
at the sight of buhari cluelessness johanthan clueless be learner ooo, ebola wey no get cure at all sef no kill up to 63 people, buhari clueless ability was a hit back to back, from naira falling 305 to dollar to fuel scarcity to lessa fever, yet he kept on junketing round the world ,
me be like: egbon buhari if its junketing u want to be doing resign and go and join arik airline cabin crew.

Frankiss44:
Thank God ebola didn't come during this stupid regime.. APC would have tried fighting it with propaganda.. See the way they are making small lassa fever look like don.. 68 people down already and nothing on the table yet?

Even ebola didn't take one tenth of this..

we would have ended up like serrea Leone. .because propaganda is what would have been doing the fight against ebola rather than actual measures to curb it...

playboy99:
nigerians sha common sense aint 4 everyone though.rats spreads the disease so the federal govt shuld start witch hunting rats also.dont worry when u see rats in your compound just wait for buhari and d minister they wuld kum kill it for u.lol

the federal government should come carry out absolute sanitation of canals as well as dirty zones...We pay taxes let us our taxes do its work..The government as a matter of fact should have a mapped out plan by now on a way to curb lassa fever...oh yes this government should be blamed...

This is getting serious..

You Doctor guys must be really hung up on the beef between you and the JOHESU people. Look at the way you've gone gangsta and have started to cuss because you suspect somebody with a contrary view to yours is JOHESU. For the life of me, I don't know why y'all take this beef so personal, ever willing to lose your cool.

Please revert to the topic at hand and help us with informed perspectives on the way out of this LF scourge. Thank you.

Please sir, this is not a political issue. Bring the needed measures to cage this disease before it succeeds in sweeping Nigerian and stop blaming people!

Within a short time this. Will be history just like the deadly ebola Was contained bacause nigeria is a blessed nation.

You mean the rats travel from state to state spreading d fever?

NoreenUG:

You just spoke my mind. Thank you so much

AreaFada2:
US is just one country. Even US has a Secretary of Health & Human Services. Current one is Sylvia Matthews Burwell.

UK, Eire, France, Germany, Australia, South Africa, India and most commonwealth countries have one.

Surgeon-General is NOT minister of health, please don't mislead people. It's equivalent to Chief Medical Officer in UK. There is Chief Nursing Officer too.
I have even met both Liam & Sally, previous & Current CMOs.

Haba! Just admit and learn if you don't know something.

Thanks for correcting @teamchocolate. I was disturbed by his claim that most countries don't have ministers of health but surgeon general. He was very wrong there.

USELESS ADMINISTRATION.
they should keep blaming GEJ.
When GEJ was confronted with EBOLA which appears to be more ravaging than LASSA he treated the case DECISIVELY..

THEY should better go and call him back ooooo

Mister please take your politics to another thread so we can discuss lassa fever here, ok.

I wonder if this present minister was appointed only to read out daily lassa fever casualty statistics and no feasible approach

adonbilivit:
thank God there are no rats here in banana island.
And we only drink koko garri here too.

And banana island don't eat fruits...


So banana island Dnt meet frnds......

Is it not the same "we will I will" that mama Peace warned us about?

APC leaders are not competent.

tempest01:
Minister of health dey sleep








We will, we will......get to work already!

Buhari would rather probe his political enemies than contain any lassa fever.

lilygabriel08:
why is there no structured plan on this from govt, is it goodluck fault as well

IzonOwei:
we would have ended up like serrea Leone. .because propaganda is what would have been doing the fight against ebola rather than actual measures to curb it...

I swear down..

They are lazy leaders.

dubemnaija:
OK. Some bonkoms will still come out and analyse to us how GEJ caused the spread

Thank God so much.

nkowaputa:
Lassa fever? Thank God these were not the people around during Ebola. The only thing we would have been hearing was; number of people killed and states affected.

APC thinks everything is about campaign and blame games.

untainted:
This blame game got to stop; know when to draw the line.
Show leadershipa already FG; this is a freaking emergency!!!
I don't remember ministry of health whining during the Ebola outbreak.
The states cannot wag the federal government.
...and what is it about the things they will do in the health sector?
Tackle this emergency first; campaign later.

What's the definition of blame game? Someone said some states ( Ebonyi in particular) has been denying the presence of the disease and you call it blame game?o

Have you criticised the state government for denying the presence of the disease and putting us all at risk?
