Lassa fever now in 27 states – Health Minster
Mr Ehanire said this on Thursday during a meeting with state health commissioners across the 36 states, at a two-day event organised by the Nigerian Governors Forum in Abuja.
Meanwhile, Mr Ehanire called on all Nigerians to ensure that the battle to curb the outbreak is not for government alone, saying it is a collaborative effort. Mr Ehanire said the Nigerian government would continue to ensure that health has priority in the development agenda of this administration. ”The temptation is to go for large visible hospital complexes, which are very impressive.
