A
patient who reportedly visited the same hospital where a Liberian
Health official, Patrick Sawyer was diagnosed with Ebola Virus disease
last month had forced the Ministry of health to shut down the NNPC
hospital at Muri Okunola area of Victoria Island today.
According
to Health Minister, Onyebuchi, the clinic located at Muri Okunola area
of Victoria Island admitted a patient with symptoms of EVD and Ministry
of Health was contacted.
This
was made known by Onyebuchi during a courtesy visit to Governor Fashola
at the State House in Ikeja. He said the affected clinic had been shut
down.
“The
situation is still under investigation and by tomorrow, the result will
be out. We need to confirm that. Normally, once someone has been
managed and there is a suspicion, there are precautions that will be
taken.
“We
want to decontaminate and when you are decontaminating, like what we
did to First Consultant Medical Centre, you close to enable you to go
in, decontaminate it and reopen. So, we are going to decontaminate and
reopen the place, so, it is temporary closed,” he said.
Every case of Ebola in this country has been somehow linked to the late Patrick Sawyer.
Would
it be proper to say the guy was on a mission to cause havoc to Africa’s
most populous country???? Hmmmm may God protect us all.
