A Nasarawa State medical doctor, Dr. Ahmed Isaiah, has died from Lassa fever at the National Hospital, Abuja.

The NMA chairman in the state, Dr. Peter Attah, confirmed that deceased died of health hazard-related issues, specifically Lassa fever. Attah lamented that the deceased had to go to work and tried to carry out surgery on a patient even when he was sick, as there were only two medical personnel at the General Hospital, Garaku, Nasarawa State, at that time.

Attah added that the deceased, who graduated five years ago, died in his prime and left behind a wife, children and loved ones. He noted that the deceased was highly dedicated to his duty while alive and was good to those that worked with him. The local government areas most affected by the disease in the state include Esan West, Etsako West, Esan North East, Esan Central, Etsako Central, Esan South East and Etsako East.
