EBOLA: Treatment Drug Arrives Nigeria

EBOLA: TREATMENT DRUG ARRIVES NIGERIA An Ebola treatment drug, “Nanosilver” is said to have arrived Nigeria for the treatment of persons infected by the virus. This was disclosed yesterday in Abuja by the Honourable Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu. Prof. Chukwu, who appeared elated on the development at the daily media briefing on the Ebola virus said: “One good thing is that there will be a new treatment drug for the Ebola. A Nigerian scientist has offered to invest his resources in the supply of the experimental treatment drug-Nanosilver-for the victims. This drug can only be donated by a Nigerian for now.” He however, confirmed another case of Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, in Nigeria bringing the total number of infected persons to 11. The minister said that among the 11 confirmed cases, three were dead-the index case, the nurse who participated in treating the late Liberian, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, who imported the disease into Nigeria and the Nigerian nurse who served as protocol officer of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS. Chukwu noted that the remaining eight victims are alive and under treatment and dismissed the panic about the spread of Ebola to Enugu State by an escapee nurse. The Health Minister said for now there is no case of Ebola in Enugu or any other part of the country except in Lagos, adding that the six persons who had secondary contact with the nurse who travelled to Enugu tested negative but are under surveillance. He said: “For now I want to assure citizens that there is no Ebola case in Enugu. One of the nurses who had primary contact with the index case who came to Nigeria on July 20, 2014 disobeyed the health authorities and travelled down to Enugu to see her husband. The nurse under surveillance was asymptomatic when she travelled to Enugu and six people who had secondary contact with her had been tested and medically proved Ebola negative and they are under surveillance. Meanwhile, the nurse and her husband have returned to Lagos in an ambulance and are under quarantine. For now, no case of Ebola is in Enugu.” Chukwu said that as at today (yesterday), Nigeria recorded a total of 169 secondary contacts under surveillance in Lagos. Meanwhile, Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, has condoled with the family of the first nurse who died from the disease. He identified her as Justina Echelonu, a member of staff of First Consultant Hospital, Obalende, Lagos State, who died on August 6, 2014. She was among those who treated the late Sawyer, when he arrived in Nigeria. Governor Orji said: “My heart bleeds as I write this. On behalf of my family, the government and the good people of Abia State, I commiserate with family, friends and colleagues of our dear lady nurse, Justina Echelonu, who died following the contact she had with the Liberian-American, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, in the course of discharging her duty as a nurse.” Governor Orji in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Obed Nnaji, prayed that God would comfort Ms. Echelonu’s family and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss. Also yesterday, Kwara State Committee on the Control of Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, disclosed that a suspected case of the disease had been reported in the state. It however allayed fears of an outbreak of the disease in the state, noting that the suspected case was on Wednesday discovered with a seven-month-old baby newly brought into the state. The Committee’s Chairman, Prof. Sunday Opabola, disclosed this to journalists yesterday. He emphasised that there was no confirmed case of the disease in the state as being speculated. Opabola, who is also the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Health, stressed that the baby with a suspected case was found with some symptoms which were not exclusive to Ebola disease but also had to do with those of Lasa fever, cholera, malaria and some other diseases. He further explained that the baby had been taken along to Ilorin by his parents who came to the town for a visit from Ibadan after one of those taking care of him had returned to Ibadan from Lagos. He said that the baby initially came up with symptoms of malaria and was being treated on that for about two days without improvement before his mother was advised to take him to a private pediatric specialist hospital in the Ilorin town. The governor’s aide also disclosed that the pediatrician medical director of the hospital carried out a clinical assessment on the patient and discovered Ebola-like symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and vomiting of contents that partly contained blood. He said this made the doctor to report the baby’s case to the relevant government agency for necessary actions. The committee chairman disclosed that the government immediate took the baby to the state Specialist Hospital at Sobi area in the town for proper attention with samples already being taken for tests at two centres in Lagos including Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH. He said the result of the tests are expected to be out today (Friday) while also disclosing that Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed had ordered for test equipment to be install at the state Advanced Diagnosis Centre in Ilorin. Opabola maintained that government had commenced trace contact which he said it is doing with the use of the standard recommended by the World Health Organisation to ensure the exercise is effective to keep the state safe of possible spread of the disease. He also disclosed that the government has decided to temporarily close down the private hospital where the baby was taken to. “Though, it was not yet established that the baby’s case is Ebola the government is taking these proactive measures as part of its commitment to keep people in the state insulated from being infected with the diseases. “Those treating the baby at the Specialist Hospital use Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, while an ambulance used to take him to the place has been dedicated for such an assignment while it is to be regularly decontaminated. “Government has also decided to establish isolation and quarantine centres at the Specialist Hospital and the General Hospital at Omu-Aran in south district of the state and at Okuta in north district,” he added.

Jonathan Sacks All Resident Doctors Over Ebola

JONATHAN SACKS ALL RESIDENT DOCTORS OVER EBOLA Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan has sacked all resident doctors in all federal government hospitals across the nation for not teaming up with government to fight the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, in the country. A statement from the Federal Ministry of Health said the action was taken to enable government appraise the challenges in the health sector in a bid to fight the Ebola scourge. The statement signed by Alhaji Isiaka Yusuf, Deputy Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Health, Abuja, Nigeria said the resident doctors had been frustrating the move by the government to curtail the Ebola virus from spreading. According to the statement, the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, made good its threat of 11 June, 2014 by calling out its members on industrial action on the 1 July, 2014 despite the Federal Government’s successive intervention meetings and dialogue including extensive deliberations with the leadership of the NMA on 25 and 26 June 2014, where agreements were reached on each of the 24 demands and a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties. It said in the midst of the strike, the government had also cultivated the attention and intervention of some eminent personalities in order to prevail on the NMA leadership to respect the ethics of their profession and end the strike whilst the dialogue was ongoing, adding that some of the personalities included the Governor of Delta State, the Secretary to Government of the Federation, members of the National Assembly, among others. The government stressed that it has implemented more than 90 percent of its responsibilities as signed by both parties, adding that at the conclusion of each meeting, the NMA promised to call off the strike but would return another day to say that they could not. “For the whole of July 2014, these doctors did not work yet government, owing to the emergency situation in our country, paid them the July salaries with allowances such as call duty allowance, teaching allowance, hazard allowance, etc, believing that this magnanimity of government would appeal to reason for NMA to call off the strike. “This strike can be considered as one of the most insensitive steps to be taken by any association or a labour union in the history of this country. Pertinent to the issue under discussion are the current security challenges in the country with the attendant mass casualties. The situation has been compounded by the recent importation of the Ebola Virus Disease into Nigeria on 20 July, 2014. “Following the Presidential declaration of a National Public Health Emergency on Ebola Disease which has united the entire country in the efforts to contain the disease, it is quite regrettable that the people who should take leadership role in the fight against Ebola disease are now the most unsupportive. All efforts by Government to contain this disease are being frustrated by the continued industrial strike action of the NMA,” it lamented. The statement added that “the Federal Government has therefore decided that Residency Training Programme in Federal Government Hospitals be suspended pending the conclusion of the ongoing appraisal of the challenges in the health sector. “This directive is without prejudice to any emergency measure that may be necessary for the hospital management to immediately restore full medical services. The Federal Government wishes to reassure the public that optimal medical health care delivery will be sustained in our hospitals.” Source: PMNews

EVD: T.B JOSHUA SENDS ’4,000 BOTTLES OF ANOINTED WATER’ TO SIERRA LEONE


                                   EBOLA: T.B JOSHUA SENDS ’4,000 BOTTLES OF ANOINTED WATER’ TO SIERRA LEONE In a move aimed at supporting some Ebola-stricken countries, founder of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Joshua, AKA, TB Joshua has announced that the Sierra Leonean government were sent 4000 bottles of his ‘anointing water’ to spiritually fortify the country in their fight against the deadly disease. Prophet Joshua also announced that a private jet hired at $50,000 conveyed the spiritual items to the country yesterday. He also added that an extra $50,000 was given to victims of the disease as donated by the prophet and his ‘Emmanuel TV Partners’. Before ministering to foreign visitors at his ‘prayer line’ service, Joshua then gave a stern warning to Nigeria about the way the Ebola crisis was being handled. “Ebola is not Nigeria’s challenge,” he began. “Our challenge is insecurity. It is a strange ailment. That someone from another country for an ECOWAS meeting and died of Ebola does not mean Nigeria is not safe,” he stated, adding that fear-mongering in the media was only making matters worse. “To the extent we talk bad about Nigeria, to that same extent our name is destroyed,” the cleric defiantly continued, bemoaning the name Nigeria was being given in the international community because of the news projected. “This is a country under repair because of what Boko Haram has done to the nation. Don’t damage it more. This nation is safe. If there is any challenge, we have what it takes to surmount it,” he stated, calling on Nigerians to learn from the way Ghana protected the name of their nation. Prophet Joshua preached that the two deaths recorded in Nigeria did not warrant a state of emergency as announced by by President Goodluck Jonathan. “All of this is propaganda,” He stated. “When a little thing happens, you exaggerate it because you are looking for funds. How much can the international community give to us that can redeem the name Nigeria we are soiling? A beggar always remains a beggar. Africa, stop begging – you have what it takes to solve your problems.” Joshua said he was saddened by the news that some African nations had closed their borders to the countries affected by the Ebola outbreak, stating that it destroys the purpose of African unity. “What is the meaning of African unity? The wound of an African is the wound of all Africans. The wound of one is the wound of all. A nation that stands to solve the problem of other nations will become successful,” he added. “We should rise up and see the wound of others as our wound. Stand up to the occasion and help instead of closing your borders against your African brothers.” Joshua concluded that giving citizens proper education about the disease was important but the spread of the disease should not be maliciously exaggerated. FacebookTwitterEmailMore “That does not mean you should use it to destroy the name of Nigeria as if it is here. It’s not! protection and prevention – that should be our assignment in Nigeria,” he said. Source: Daily Post

I Owe No One Any Apology: Minister Who Cleared Sawyer To Travel To Nigeria

I OWE NO ONE ANY APOLOGY SAYS MINISTER WHO CLEARED PATRICK SAWYER TO TRAVEL LIBERIA’s deputy finance minister, Sebastian Omar, who cleared Patrick Sawyer to travel, yesterday, defended himself against charges of incompetence for clearing Sawyer to travel to Nigeria for a conference. In the conversation on Facebook tracked by online publication, Premium Times, Omar stood his ground, and revealed that Sawyer was his friend. Asked whether Omar saw Sawyer’s blood test results or whether he simply told him it was negative, the minister said, “As his superior, if a man tells you his sister died from Ebola and he could have been exposed do you not think it is your duty to ask the hard questions or maybe you could have reported this to the health officials? Stop making silly excuses as to not being his doctors. This does not excuse you from asking the questions as a government official that would safeguard the lives of our citizens and your international partners. It is your duty, again as a Government official not wanting to go above and beyond his duty to safe guard our population. Sebastian Muah Omar Tariq, a friend is dead, I do not owe you any explanation. POS (Patrick Sawyer) was a public health practitioner if you must know. The Ugandan doctor was a medical doctor if you again must know. They are no longer. So the freaking issue is not why he lied or didn’t lie to travel. But how we address the freaking disease. If you don’t have jack to say in that direction then frankly shut up on the subject. Sebastian Muah doesn’t have time today frankly for your rants.” Omar Tariq, oh hell yes you do owe Liberians and the international community an explanation Sebastian Muah, this is the complete arrogance of you people in government. How do you tell us such nonsense. You have through your negligence of not asking the proper questions exposed others to such a horrible Virus and you on here talking bull. A friend is dead I am sorry but you have some answering to do since you want to brag that you approved his travels. Sebastian Muah the old people say empty drum can’t make noise. So you will be talking by yourself as I see you don’t know what you are talking about and as a matter of finding solution you do not have any but trying to find blame. Someone must have frustrated the hell out of you in Liberia O…. Take me to the international court since I am guilty of approving a travel. Source: Vanguard
