The Federal Government has denied abandoning the Edo State Government over the outbreak of Lassa Fever in the state.
“I make sure that on our side, we do our diligence. Every single medicine they use for treating Lassa fever anywhere in the country is provided by the ministry of health, including the test reagents, and the test kits, that is our responsibility.”
“As we speak now, Edo is not the only state that has Lassa fever. At the moment, they have a slightly bigger incidence than Ondo, but last year, Ondo had more. Edo is lucky that they have the best virus hospital in the whole of this country in Irrua. “I also want to say again that the Chief Medical Director of the Irrua hospital was in my office to answer some of these questions and he assured me that on no occasion have they ever refused to treat anybody with Lassa fever whether you have money or not.
