Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, said at a press conference yesterday, that the state Ministry of Justice has been notified to pick up any case of stigmatization, adding that stigmatization can make some persons believed to have contracted the disease not to come forward for treatment.
"Stigmatization may further make contacts and suspects to go underground. This may bring about the reversal of the gains we have already made; because such contacts and suspects may not come out and if they don’t come out, they jeopardize the life of those they come in contact with, including their families. We want to emphasize that the Ministry of Justice will take up any case of stigmatization. Anybody, either a discharged patient or a contact being followed up, who feels any form of stigmatization, should petition the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney-General and we will take it up from there." he said.
Good move. Lagos take the lead, others follow

God dis case dey ur hand.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice.
ReplyDeleteOK
ReplyDeletecan you punish someone for being afraid?! Educate them not persecute humble sirs
ReplyDeleteBeing afraid doesnt warrant stigmatisation. You have already been told how to handle someone you suspect might have the virus but not those that have been treated and cleared or those under surveillance. They didn't ask for it. Read your dictionary
DeleteStrongly agreed becos how could pple stigmatizes a patient who has been treated of Ebola and certified free from the virus
ReplyDeleteThat is inhuman becos we have to welcome and rejoice with them for been a survivor

Very good, but I beg, it should be only about discharged patients because even you, Oga Commissioner of health and that Magistrate or Justice handing down the sentence will be scared of contacts being followed up. Make we talk true abeg. Any contact being followed up should try to stay at home and things the person needs should be brought to the person until after 21 days. Na so Federal govt take wan deceive youth corpers when una post go North dat time say dem must go, una dey on top of the situation, meanwhile, their colleagues when dey there dey die troway. Thank you, sir.
ReplyDeleteAs I dey talk...Any contact being followed up, if I follow am rollick and frollick today then tomorrow I hear say e get symptoms, na 100% guaranteed say I nor go get? Prove am first to me. As for discharged patients, I nor get problem with that one.
