The hospital at the centre of the battle against the Corona Virus in Lagos. The Infectious Diseases Hospital was established at the Mainland Hospital in 2012 by the Lagos State Government with funding support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and technical assistance from Family Health International (FHI 360) under the TBCARE project. The facility was initially an ultra-modern multi-drug resistance tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment centre. During the Ebola Disease Crisis in Nigeria, the government decided MDR-TB treatment centre was a suitable place for the containment and treatment of Ebola Disease. Since then, the facility has been upgraded by the Lagos State Government, the Canadian Government, the British Government, the US Government and various international agencies to enable it deal with various infectious diseases. It is one of the centres that is designated for the treatment of Lassa Fever and it is at this hospital that the Italian Corona Virus patient is being kept. 19 Likes 3 Shares

There is another isolation centre at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). That's where the lassa fever patient is. Professor Abayomi also visited the lassa fever patient at the facility. 7 Likes 1 Share

Until recently there were only two diagnostic laboratories in Sub-Saharan Africa that were capable of diagnosing diseases like the Corona Virus and Ebola. One is in South Africa and the other is in Senegal. During the Ebola crisis, test samples were flown from Nigeria to the Pastur Institute in Senegal. Now there are three such laboratories in Nigeria, one in Lagos, one in Abuja and one in Benin. Update, the Infectious Diseases Hospital is now capable of running tests for the Corona Virus. 65 Likes 9 Shares

Press conference by the Lagos State Government on the first case of the corona virus in Lagos. Speaking is the Lagos State commissioner of health, Professor Akin Abayomi and with him is the Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu. So we have a traveller that started his journey from Milan on Monday the 24th of February. He transited through Istanbul on Turkish Airlines and arrived in Lagos on Monday night at 9pm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeBE41fTkzk The patient remains in strict isolation at our containment facility in Yaba and he’s doing well under supportive therapy. As of now we’ve started to trace the movement of this traveller from the airport, through Lagos, to Ogun State and we are busy identifying any possible person that may have come in contact with him, so that we can start our isolation and containment exercise, to ensure that we break the cycle of transmission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPH6YHLBQhI Regarding the entry or the screening of patients that are starting their journey from countries that have high number of transmission of this coronavirus, most countries are beginning to start a screening process before people actually board the flight, but if you board the flight and you are well and you arrive in Lagos and you are well, then we can’t pick you up at that point. It’s only if you have symptoms that you will be stopped from boarding the flight and if you have symptoms on arrival at our international airport here in Lagos, that is when we trigger a second. . .there’s a second form that many of you are not aware of, if you are identified on the form, you have symptoms or you volunteer those symptoms, then there’s a second process that kicks in, which then activates a very high level of containment and we take that traveller to one of our isolation facilities, where we will now observe them directly under our supervision, otherwise, you just go along with your normal business https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaF92kogepc In addition, we are building our capacity to diagnose the case in Lagos and right now we can run the tests in two centres in Lagos, one in our bio-security facility and the other at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. We are in constant contact with the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and the minister of health in Abuja and we are exchanging information continuously. The important thing to know now is that the patient is confined, we have aggressively started to identify all his contacts all the way to the airline and that process started around 3am this morning. It continues as we speak. We would like to assure everybody that we are on this case to make sure that we can identify everybody that he has come into contact with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhfxcRY84Ns 1 Like |

The Federal government doesn't care one bit about our lives. They have displayed it on several occasions. Up till now, the government hasn't placed a ban on China from entering the country. This is a very wrong time for Abba Kyari to be president. That man has contacted a lot of people who have also mixed up with lots and so on. Buhari is too nonchalant and Islamic to be a councillor in a sane LGA. 61 Likes 5 Shares |

Kai. Africa (not Nigeria only) is centuries behind. We see Center for Diseases Control CDC containment labs in movies.... See this one with mosquito-control net I hope Covid 19 wouldn't take root in Nigeria. With our dense population and poor infrastructure, our death toll might be higher than even China. GEJ was clueless but at least he had a few competent people around him.... I never thought anyone could even beat him as a failure, but PMB is making a very strong case.. 86 Likes 4 Shares |
