WHO Steps In to Tackle Cholera at Kirikiri Prison
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The World Health Organization (WHO) has swooped in to save the day at Kirikiri Prison, following a cholera outbreak that exposed the facility’s dire conditions. Lagos State’s Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, broke the news, announcing that the WHO has generously donated 10,000 doses of pharmaceutical supplies to combat the outbreak and prevent its spread among the roughly 3,200 inmates.

What They Are saying

Abayomi painted a grim picture of the situation but highlighted the rapid response, saying, “We’ve managed to supply Kirikiri medium prison with essential intravenous fluids, infection prevention supplies, and other necessary health consumables.” He proudly declared that immediate issues with water and sanitation have been addressed, and other correctional facilities are under inspection to avoid a similar fate.

The commissioner didn’t mince words about the origins of the cholera crisis, pointing fingers at unregulated street beverages and contaminated water supplies as the primary culprits. Despite the alarming rise in cases two weeks ago, Abayomi noted a significant improvement, with daily cases declining and no new deaths reported in the past 72 hours. This, he claimed, is proof that the interventions are working.

Why It Matters

The Lagos State government is now pulling out all the stops with an interagency “One Health” approach, which includes environmental health measures in collaboration with the Lagos Water Corporation and sanitation agencies. These efforts involve widespread sanitation, inspecting and disinfecting boreholes, providing safe drinking water, and cracking down on local beverage manufacturers.

Abayomi announced, “As approved by Mr. Governor, we’re implementing stricter sanitary and regulatory standards for eateries, food handlers, beverage manufacturers, and groundwater to curb food and water-borne diseases in Lagos.”

He urged the public to stay vigilant and adhere to public health guidelines, reassuring everyone that there’s no need to panic. With continued cooperation and commitment from all stakeholders, he’s confident Lagos will successfully control and eradicate cholera.
