The Nizamiye Hospital, Abuja, has asked Nigerians to observe laid down protocols to halt the further spread of the coronavirus in the country.
At a media parley during the weekend, Mohammed Abubakar, its public relations officer, listed various steps the hospital has taken to continue rendering services to patients for illnesses not related to COVID 19.
“Our hospital is fully functional and rendering services to patients with various illnesses not related to COVID 19,”
“We ensured that we put in place measures to ensure that all our staff and patients are safe during this period.
“The hospital has in place a multi check system that detects coronavirus related cases and this we did by creating a consultation and examination hub within a precinct outside the main hospital building with a set of doctors and nurses that examine patients and those cleared are granted entry to the main hospital building for medical care.”
Abubakar also said halting the spread of coronavirus is not for the government alone, charging Nigerians that they have a role to play.
“Nigerians must take responsibility in this critical point through the following ways; Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth. Cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces every day such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and washing of hands often with soap and water,” he said.
“As a hospital our commitment to halting the spread of coronavirus is unflinching, and we appreciate the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Disease Control, as well as the Presidential Taskforce on COVID 19.”
