No special treatment given to Ebola survivors – Health Minister

Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris says there was no specific treatment regime administered to the 4 Ebola patients who were yesterday discharged from the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH), Yaba after they were tested and certified Ebola free. The commissioner who made this known while responding to journalists at the IDH premises in Yaba says isolated Ebola patients are each treated based on the presentation…

 “If a patient presents a diarrhea and vomiting, you have to replace fluids and electrolytes and if the patient presents pain, you have to give pain killers, if the patient is infected you would give antibiotics. It depends on the presentation of each patient, but I know they have enough drugs and enough medicine to take care of all those cases. If they require intensive care, that is part of the equipments that have been brought in, they would be provided now that we have more medical personnel to handle this people”, he explained.

He also revealed that the other three patients remaining are still at the Isolation Ward and are being managed, monitored and would be discharged once they recovered.

The Commissioner also said there are three new suspected cases being monitored, with one of them being a blood sample sent in from Kaduna because the laboratory to conduct such test does not exist in the area while the remaining two are all primary contacts from Lagos
