Not less than 50 people have been reported dead in a fresh Lassa fever outbreak in Ondo State.
According to closed sources the Federal Medical Center, FMC, Owo, who spoke with LIB, the situation is almost beyond control adding that they have run out of space at the isolation ward where these patients are being treated.
The source also revealed how a Lassa Fever patient “mysteriously” disappeared from the hospital.
She blamed the incident on the negligence of some of her colleagues.
“What we currently facing, is quite beyond what anyone would ever imagine. Almost all the patients in the isolation ward are those that have contracted Lassa fever and most of the reported cases are from the border communities within Ose Local Government area of the state.
It’s quite sad how the state government is not even attending to the situation. Citizens are dying from preventable disease, but the government is not showing any concern at all.”
