The #HMH @DrEOEhanire at the #PTFCOVID19 media briefing today stated that our ministry will be distributing oxygen concentrators & ventilators to various health institutions so that they can provide oxygen therapy to persons presenting with respiratory distress. "I therefore renew my plea to all those who test positive & are 60 years or older who have underlying health conditions to report immediately to a treatment facility.

There is no shortage of beds reported from any of the states" @DrEOEhanire.

This month of August marks the six-year remembrance of late Dr. #AmeyoAdadevoh & Nurse #JustinaEjelonu, 2 brave health workers who came in contact with the #Nigeria's #Ebola index case in 2014 while carrying out their duties. We express our condolence to the families of Dr. #AmeyoAdadevoh & Nurse #JustinaEjelonu.

As result of their extraordinary and spectacular bravery, the spread of #Ebola was contained and so many lives were saved.

Today is #WorldSickleCellDay & we want you to know more about #SickleCellDisease.

It is an inherited blood disease, that causes the red blood cells to have sickle shape thereby, disrupting the free flow of blood & oxygen in the body. #KnowYourGenotype People living with #SickleCellDisease, may often experience serious pains, weakness of the body, delayed growth & development.

They may also look pale due to shortage of blood
as a result of the sudden breakdown of red blood cells in the body .
