A HOSPITAL without ambulances cannot be a hospital in 2020. Nigerians should jeer and not cheer long-denied corrections in the health system. The ambulance
and fire brigade siren should replace the politicians’ sirens on our roads. Ambulance delivery and not donations but just catchup with normal health facility standards worldwide.
The Nigerian Medical Association and Nigeria’s microbiologists should issue ‘Guidelines for Specifications for Production and Recycling’ [yes, Recycling] of Personal Protection Equipment, PPE’. Infected hands are never cut off but always recycled – washed in soap and water, rinsed in methylated spirit. Nigeria does not have enough PPE. Medical professionals must energise recycling or go naked into the Corvid -19 War. Re-use personal PPE.
Who is making ventilators and PPE and the needed masks and visors to protect the eyes from direct spray or the hand touching the face? Even before COVID-19, we, health professionals, worked in often appalling conditions. Regular theatre microbiological checks are infrequent and infections are followed back to source in wound infections in operated patients.
