The World Health Organisation , yesterday, donated pharmaceuticals to help treat and prevent the spread of a cholera outbreak at Kirikiri correctional centre in Lagos State.
“Additionally, WHO has donated 10,000 doses of pharmaceuticals, which have been delivered to the correctional centre to support health facilities with prevention strategies for about 3,200 inmates, if required. Director-General of NCDC, Dr Jide Idris, stated that the Federal Government had activated the National Emergency Operation Centre for cholera.
“However, it has come; so, we have to deal with it. People should be more careful with what they eat and drink. There are many fake products out there. Stop consuming fake products. You do not have to drink just anything; take clean water.” “The cases at the moment are still suspected and even the person that died in Nassarawa-Eggon was not confirmed, but a suspected case before his death,” he added.
