11:20Now PlayingA Senior Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Public Healthcare, Dr Yewande Adeshina, has reiterated the need for medical doctors to ensure that Ebola patients are quarantined as soon as they test positive to the virus.
On a Channels Television's programme, Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday, Dr Yewande said that the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease had brought back panic.
She expressed fears that the outbreak had become a burden for medical doctors, who are treating patients with the fear that whatever ailment they had could be Ebola.
''People die with the first diagnosis of Ebola and it has become a burden because the minute Ebola is mentioned, we have to act as if it is an Ebola case.
''I really want to seek the opportunity to appeal to our health care providers, that we have given them training, standard operating procedures and all the information they need to be able to treat Ebola appropriately and make a different diagnosis and to refers patient to the Ebola treatment center.''
Dr Yewande stressed that all health workers needed to do was to keep the patient in their facilities and call the Ebola helplines for the rapid response team to come and access the patient on a more comprehensive level.
