The federal
government says the medical team, which has been invited from China, will not
have direct interference with patients diagnosed with coronavirus in Nigeria.
Osagie Ehanire,
minister of health, had announced on Friday
that an 18-man team of Chinese medical experts, including doctors,
nurses and other health workers, will come to Nigeria to help in the fight
against the pandemic.
Speaking on Monday
at the presidential task force briefing on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, secretary
to the government of the federation, said the health professionals are expected
to support Nigeria’s capacity by training and giving advice on how to manage
the pandemic when necessary.
“The professionals
that have been invited from China are public health specialists and medical
engineers that will support Nigeria’s capacity in managing the pandemic on
advisory basis when necessary, while drawing from the experience of the
Chinese,” he said.
“In no way shall
there be case management and interface with patients. They will train our manpower, advise on
procedures and methods, install and test the equipment donated before handing
them over.
“I, therefore, use
this medium to appeal to our medical professionals to see the positive aspects
of this gesture as an extension of development in the field of medicine.
“The task force
recognises and respects the competence and capability of Nigerian doctors and
other medical personnel. This is a state of war against the coronavirus and
time should not be devoted to unhelpful controversies.”
