COVID-19: Hospitals In Kano Rejecting Sick Patients - Boss Mustapha by nairalandankrah: 12:45am On May 05, 2020
The Federal Government on Monday said hospitals were rejecting sick patients in Kano State.

The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 announced this in an update on the state’s battle against coronavirus.

Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and PTF Chairman spoke at the daily briefing in Abuja.

He disclosed that the team received reports that medical facilities and doctors were turning back sick patients over the fear that their illnesses were COVID-19-related.

Mustapha begged hospitals not to neglect the treatment of other ailments because such actions had resulted in avoidable deaths.


He noted that teams dispatched from Abuja had continued to work with the state structure and were doing well.

“We have achieved a lot in the area of manpower support, equipment deployment and usage, increased testing capacity and treatment centres.

“Efforts are also ongoing to upscale the training of medical personnel in Kano and neighbouring states on the management of infectious diseases and to provide them with Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for protection.


“Private hospitals have also been advised to seek accreditation before taking up the management of infectious diseases,” Mustapha said.

The SGF disclosed that federal and Kano governments were strengthening existing structures, especially for sustainability.

You can't blame the hospitals, the government should distribute the testing kits to both private hospitals or make it mandatory for private hospitals to acquire test kits...
With that all incoming patients can be tested before being admitted to checkmate the spread of the virus.

The hospitals' fear and reason for their actions is understandable.

Zooposki:
Meanwhile in the USA, hospitals are being paid $19,000 if they list the death as covid 19 and $39,000 if the sick patients are put on ventilators to ensure their speedy death.
Thanks to the deep state and global elites, in which Bill Gates is a member.

Likely to happen across the states once our health care facilities become overwhelmed.

This is the major reason lockdown, social distancing and good hygiene still remain the cheapest, most efficient and obtainable means of managing infectious diseases like COVID- 19.

“Private hospitals have also been advised to seek accreditation before taking up the management of infectious diseases,” Mustapha said.


When they are not sure what ailment the patients have and there is a pandemic in town. The best thing thier government can do is to broaden thier scope and have a few personnel on ground at most hospital that are trained to handle infectious diseases. Or just distribute PPE to the hospitals.

Pathetic. Most of these people brought this upon themselves.
The other time, I saw videos of them washing their hands and drinking the filthy water.
I hope they recover though.

Nigerian medical practitioner's now live in fear of their dear life..might be worst in kano, but its synonymous to other States..
I was in a Gov. hospital when a sick man was brought in by emergency ambulance..doctors and nurses assumed it was covid 19, spent almost 1hour in hiding in their diff offices, after several mins of preparation the man was isolated and sample collected to be tested with an infrared machine and others.
The man died by night. later the result was made available, he tested negative .
I pray that we and our loved ones will never fall sick at this period. even if do ,may we never show symptoms of covid 19.
