The Lagos State government has announced additional assistance from the World Health Organisation as it battles a cholera outbreak at Kirikiri prison.
Abayomi said the ministry was able to supply Kirikiri Medium Prison with intravenous fluids, infection prevention, and other health consumables.“Additionally, the World Health Organisation has donated 10,000 doses of pharmaceuticals which have been delivered to the prison to support prison health facilities with prevention strategies for about 3,200 inmates if required,” Abayomi said.
Abayomi also disclosed that the recent cholera outbreak in Lagos resulted from unregulated street beverages and contaminated water supplies, identified as the primary sources two weeks ago.According to him, the numerous samples collected from commonly sold street beverages by undercover environmental officers from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Ministry of Health in the affected regions verified the existence of Vibrio cholerae bacteria, responsible for causing cholera.
