'NMA, Cross River Chapter, should begin sensitisation of its members on the compulsory use of face mask at all times.'
in Cross River State has been advised to urgently begin the process of training its members on how to guard themselves against contracting COVID-19.
Mr Simon said the situation in Cross River requires the NMA in the state to equip doctors with the knowledge of COVID-19 protocols and management, instead of the association behaving as an opposition to the Cross River State Government. Continuing, Mr Simon said, “From one of NMA frequent letters released to the press, it was stated that the Government of Cross River State has trained over 400 health workers on Infection Prevention and Control for COVID-19 and some of the persons trained at least 50 were doctors, including the State Chapter Chairman Dr Agam Ayuk.
“It is sad to note that some doctors in public and private hospitals do not use face mask always at their work places. Some do not know the IPC protocols, some do not have access to the SOP for management and referral of suspected cases of COVID-19. These are the types of engagement and sensitisation drive that a committed association should have if the welfare of its people are topmost on its mind.
He said the Cross River State Government is doing well in its management of the coronavirus, “even though it might not be at the speed expected.
