In a press statement signed by the Director General of the NCDC, Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, on Monday, the agency said the purpose of the activation of the EOC was to achieve a coordinated national response and especially across the affected states to interrupt disease transmission, reduce the impact of the disease by reducing suffering and death, and other socioeconomic complications of this disease.
“The situation report of January 22, 2023, showed a total of 244 confirmed cases with 37 deaths and a case fatality rate of 15.1 % from 16 states and the FCT – Ondo , Edo , Bauchi , Taraba , Benue , Ebonyi , Nasarawa , Plateau , Kogi , Anambra , Delta , Oyo , Adamawa , Enugu , Imo , and FCT . “Healthcare is a collective responsibility of communities and governments at all levels. While the NCDC is mandated to lead the prevention, emergency preparedness, and response to public health emergencies, we rely on the cooperation and support of States in the development and implementation of evidence-driven outbreak response plans for their territories.”
