What They’re Saying

The Chief of UNICEF, Lagos Field Office, Celine Lafoucrier, had on Saturday, clamoured for the fatality reports of the cholera outbreak to be reduced.

He had said:
“Addressing the challenges of cholera outbreaks requires a deliberate focus of state policies to provide high-standard water and sanitation facilities, as well as strengthened healthcare systems capable of responding to the demand in times of outbreaks, and state-led educational campaigns on cholera prevention to protect children and the population at large.

“To alleviate cholera outbreaks, a comprehensive approach is essential. Sustainable WASH infrastructure and strengthened health systems capable of anticipating epidemics as well as, effective community engagement strategies are crucial to halt transmission.”

Why It Matters

The activation of Lagos’ Public Health Emergency Operations Centre is a critical step in fighting the cholera outbreak that has already claimed a lot of lives. It also signifies a proactive approach to public health crises, ensuring rapid response and containment.
