Federal government has called on Nigerians to pay more attention to their personal and environmental hygiene so as to halt the re-emergence of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the country.
The permanent secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Mr Linus Awute while speaking at the 3rd World Health Organisation (WHO) Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) for Nigeria for Nigeria said all Nigerians must remain vigilant.
Awute said “We want to reassure Nigerians that our containment strategies are still in place and we are working to build a resilience health system that can withstand any emergencies or outbreaks.”
WHO country representative to Nigeria, Dr Rui Gama Vaz also added that the third CCS is in line with the global health context and the move towards Universal Health Coverage.
