NCDC declared me COVID-19 positive but I didn’t see my test result – Dokpesi jnr
The Chairman of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi Junior, has lamented that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, never gave him the result showing he tested positive to COVID-19.
He made the disclosure while recounting his sojourn and that of his father in an isolation centre in Gwagwalada, Abuja. He said: “Whilst I can attest to my improvement in physical health and well-being, I regret to say that since my initial test to date, I have never seen any documentary evidence of any test result.
“Unless a spotlight is beamed on our testing facilities, capacity and documentation, there is an immediate risk that patients will lose confidence in the statements of public healthcare providers.”Dokpesi jnr disclosed that azithromycin, chloroquine and zinc were administered on him.
