These decisions were contained in a declaration by a Commissioner of Health, Dr. Jide idris, made in the evening of August 15, 2014, Friday. He also failed to clarify whether any of these drugs have already been brought to Nigeria or not, newsday.com.ng reports.
“Should we have access to ZMapp now, right away, we will start the administration on the patients.
“We are attending a meeting soon with the Task Force on Ebola to know if the ZMapp drug is available as stated by the Federal government,” Dr. Idris said.
The commissioner also stated that the Nano Silver, developed by an unnamed Nigerian scientist in the Diaspora and previously suggested by the Federal Government, is an untested natural health product, and the state is currently not ready to play with the health of the patients.
