Coronavirus: Nigeria's health system is weak, we can't afford to get overwhelmed - NM - Edoman - 04-23-2020 Coronavirus: Nigeria's health system is weak, we can't afford to get overwhelmed - NMA President The President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Dr Fancis Faduyile has called for more stringent measures to curb the spread of Coronavirus in the country. Speaking on Channels Television on Thursday April 23, Faduyile stated that proactive measures are necessary at this time because the country cannot afford to get overwhelmed by Coronavirus cases with its weak health system. The NMA President said; Quote:“Nigeria, we must know, is not a very rich country; her patients are not very capable of getting all the necessary payment for health and the health system is weak. Faduyile who revealed that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is yet to approve any kit for COVID-19 test, stated that every country has a way of developing home-grown methods to resolve its challenges. He also disclosed that the NMA is working with other medical bodies to validate some of the mass screening kits for COVID-19. He added; Quote:“Nowadays, we are having patients who are coming to the hospital and are not given adequate treatment because attending physicians are not sure of the status of the patients. Though Faduyile averred that the total number of tests conducted so far in the country is lower than he expected, he however commended the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for improving its testing capacity to discover more infections in the country. by |
