He said, “You would have noticed that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the weak health system in the country; it shows that we are really below what we thought we were in all components – in provision of palliative, capacity building; and it is because we are not ready. “We have been advocating that the Federal Government set a target of allocating at least 15 per cent of the annual budget to improve the health sector as recommended in 2001.
“If we have the drug for it, like malaria or typhoid, then this lockdown will end because if you test positive, they will just give you the medication and everyone will start going his or her own way and that’s because we have studied about malaria. “Also, at the Academy of Science, we are working on finding effective local therapies for this virus. Just like when you heard of what Madagascar did, we know Nigeria can do it too,” Onuoha added.
