Health workers in Lagos State may currently be at risk as the scarcity of personal protective equipment, especially masks, infrared thermometers, sanitisers and protective coverall has hit many of the public hospitals in the state.
The Island maternity’s chapter of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives was compelled to invite experts in sanitiser production to teach its members on how to locally mass-produce sanitisers as part of their protective measures. Mr Amusan said every other department and unit also benefited from the training and that the sanitiser made was distributed around the hospital to help everyone.
The source said some health workers in the state have concluded plans to quit their job if the situation degenerates. The letter, which was dated March 24, notified the government of the precarious state of its members across major hospitals, saying it would not fold its arms while members risk their lives in the course of providing care.
Speaking on behalf of government, the permanent secretary in the state’s health ministry, Olusegun Ogboye, said its suppliers are struggling to surmount the biting scarcity and skyrocketing prices of protective tools.
I have expertise in producing large quantities hand sanitizers. If only they can DM for mass production.
