Ebola Infection Rate In Lagos Has Increased, 8 New Patients Isolated by Dbestmax(m): 5:54pm On Aug 21, 2014 |
The government of Lagos state Nigeria has confirmed 5 new cases of the deadly Ebola virus infection in the state. According to Lagos state Health Commissioner, Doctor Idris Jide, 2 of the new patients have tested negative to the killer virus. “till date, we have recorded eight suspected cases, five of which came in on Tuesday. “On the whole, five have died. We are currently following up 213 contacts and 63 have completed the two-day follow-up.” – Idris Jide said The commissioner also regretted the death of Dr Stella Adadevoh, the Senior Consultant/ Endocrinologist at First Consultant Hospital, who led the team that attended to and treated Nigeria’s first index case, Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American. According to him, it was the deceased doctor, “who took the initiative to intimate the ministry concerning the index case and, substantially to her credit is the moderate containment achieved. “She led the team who attended to the index case. Her doggedness and commitment to duty saw her personally reviewing the case, though the patient had earlier been seen by a doctor. No doubt, she and the other affected health workers are the heroes and heroines of the day.” He also commiserated with the families, friends and co-workers of all affected persons. naijagists.com/ebola-virus-infection-rate-in-lagos-state-nigeria-has-increased-8-new-patients-isolated/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

And according to research, those bodily fluids include se men, with the ebola virus living in the testicles for up to 7 weeks. What is disturbing in that photo it appears there is a frail woman sitting in the chair with her hand up imploring, or maybe it is dead body removal with rigor mortis, regardless, this is a horrible tragedy for so many and it pains me. We must strive to do better and hold FG accountable for implementing and providing better quality healthcare, infrastructure as roads etc, lights, water, sewage treatment. This corruption madness has to stop. Nigeria is dying and Boko Haram is just picking the flesh off the extremities til they can get to the heart. Nigeria, come out of your slumber.... |
