Haruna: We’re Simply against Testing before Treatment in Kogi
Commissioner for Health in Kogi State, Dr. Saka Audu Haruna said although the state was still Coronavirus-free, the National Centre for Disease Control remains a veritable partner in Progress. He spoke to Ibrahim Oyewale. Excerpts:Kogi State so far has not recorded any confirmed case of Coronavirus officially.
Salary earner would rightly expect their money to be paid by the end of every months, whether they go to work or not, but our informal workers. I must also make this clarification that a situation, where COVID-19 test will be a prerequisite for patients to receive cares would be vehemently rejected, because before COVID-19, there are people that have various symptoms of diseases and hospital is meant to bring succours to such people in distress.Yes. I will state clearly from what I understand as at now, Kogi State has no case of COVID-19, clearly as at today.
I have not received any of such information from Federal Medical Centre. I am the link or let say, my office is the link between the Federal Medical Centre and the State government. As far as I am concerned, we have not received such claims. I think we just have to ignore all those bent on painting the government black.
None of them recorded any case of Coronavirus and the lame claims that we are surrounded by states that are positive and therefore Kogi State must declare positive cases do not hold water and I want to advise the general public to believe in what the state government is doing. We have the interest of our people at heart.
There have been agitations about testing and provision for testing kits in the state. What’s that all about?
