Prof. Akin Abayomi, the Commissioner for Health, confirmed the donation during an update on the cholera outbreak in Lagos State. He emphasized that immediate environmental and medical interventions had been successfully implemented to address the situation.
“We were able to supply Kirikiri Medium Prison with intravenous fluids, infection prevention and other health consumables.
“The WHO has donated 10,000 doses of pharmaceuticals to the prison to support prison health facilities with prevention strategies for about 3,200 inmates if required.”
Recall that the commissioner stated two weeks ago that the source of the outbreak was unregulated street beverages and contaminated water supplies.
