NMA observed that certain key strategies have been “largely absent or sub-optimally implemented” by both the states and Federal Government in their fight against Coronavirus pandemic.
The statement reads: “The COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria confirmed on February 28, 2020, in Lagos has since spread around the country. As at today, there are 51 cases in 9 states of the Federation, including the FCT. At the onset of the pandemic, recall that the World Health Organisation advised nations with weak health systems which Nigeria falls under, to start preparing to contain the pandemic.
Faduyile, however, called for collective action between the federal, state governments and relevant stakeholders in the fight against the virus. “These ICUs with Ventilators/artificial respirators makes the difference between life and death in complications from Covid-19. It is scary that the dearth of these facilities is the same in all the 36 States and the FCT.”
Where were they then?
See how the snake in their logo is looking at them👀
So NMA waited for government to make mistakes so they will talk! So unprofessional!!
