A medical doctor with the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kudu in Jigawa State, Dr Naseer Adam, is dead.

The Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association, Kano State, Dr Sanusi Bala, confirmed the death of the deceased to“Yes, I know. The late Adam worked with the Federal Medical Centre Birnin Kudu in Jigawa State,” he said.

The deceased was said to have managed a patient with an acute respiratory infection about three weeks ago.The patient returned to the hospital again due to worsening breathlessness and after isolation, the patient tested positive for COVID-19. However, four days ago, the doctor started having running nose and dry cough, forcing him to be admitted at the emergency section.One of his colleagues, Dr Abbas Bello, paid tribute to him on social media, saying, “Truly, one of the darkest moments of a doctor’s life is when they couldn’t help save the life of a colleague, friend and one of their own!

“Dr Naseer Adam was one of the most hardworking, humble, kind, generous, industrious, and down to the earth, I have recently come across. “Because of his empathy and generosity, almost all the indigent patients want to see him as he will review them, prescribe, pay for the medication he prescribed and give them transport fare.”

May his soul rest in peace. This is why all medical personal should be insured, well paid and provided with PPE. I imagine what his family is going through now.

Allahu Akbar. may Allah rewards him al-jannat and condolences to his parents and his family.

No offense mobilepunch but not sure this is a very encouraging way to caption that story...considering that, it might only induce more reluctance from doctors..when treating covid-19 related cases ...or cases with symptoms of covid-19..

Tension mounts in Kogi as COVID-19 row deepensThe Kogi State Government is unrelenting in disputing claims by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the family of a COVID-19 patient of the existence of the deadly virus in the state. Governor Bello is rather taking a reckless stance to suit only his political prowess & not in the interest of Kogi people. The virus is real & is spreading unabated across Nigeria, kogi is not exempted in anyway. until they become mystery deaths in kogi state.thats when they will tell the whole world about covid 19. What are we hinding, it's no longer a news again, if Kogi did not have what have you done tell others so that they can do and stop the spread in the country, why are we playing politics with every thing.
