The Guild of Medical Directors (GMD) has appealed to the FG to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for private medical practitioners because of the increasing deaths among its members from exposure to coronavirus.

The Guild of Medical Directors has appealed to the federal government to provide personal protective equipment for private medical practitioners because of the increasing deaths among its members from exposure to the coronavirus infection.

According to him, “In previous meetings with the Ministry of Health, private hospitals have stressed that they are in the frontline of the battle against the COVID-19 epidemic. This is for the simple reason that private hospitals account for not less than 70 percent of consultations in the country. “This is compounded by the fact that some patients disguise their true travel history, in an attempt to avoid stigmatization.

“To facilitate the quick identification of patients with COVID-19, private hospitals need to be provided with rapid serological test kits. Some of these kits, such as the Cellex Incorporation test, or the Chembio test, have already been validated by the American Food and Drug Administration and are in use in the USA.
