The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) said on Friday it had put measures in place to guard against a recurrence of the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak.

Prof. Wale Oke, the Chief Medical Director, told newsmen in Lagos that the danger had not been fully averted.

He said that there was still risk of cross-border transmission from the high risk countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone.

“Not only did we completely eradicate the disease in Nigeria, we actually were able to save a lot more people that would have died.

“Consequent upon this fact, the hospital, through its emergency committee, has put modalities in place as a form of proactive response to unprecedented epidemic of the Ebola Virus Disease, popularly known as EVD.

“We have eradicated it, but the chances of another Sawyer coming in should not be over looked.

“So, LASUTH has put up structures in place to combat any possible epidemic and this also cuts across the State-owned hospitals.

“And what the commissioner told us was: we must make sure that we have our antenna, our alarm button up so that we can safely manage if another one comes in.“

World Health Organisation (WHO) on Oct.20 made a declaration that Nigeria had contained the virus and was Ebola-free.

Foresight my a$$... Didn't your government tell us the same thing until Sawyer came to expose how unprepared we are.

Measures ? why not cure ?.

Maybe you've forgotten, that the measure is better than cure.

You don't need to call this thrash na.. You never called their efforts thrash when we were battling with evd then.

May Ebola never resurface in Nigeria.
