The Federal Government is planning to identify and equip Ebola treatment centres in states with designated ports of entry
The number of identified contacts so far linked to Nigeria’s confirmed case as risen to 53.
The measures are part of efforts to strengthen the country’s preparedness for a possible spread of the disease, with the government assessing isolation capacity at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital and planning an infection prevention and control assessment at Karu General Hospital.
According to an Ebola situation report, the authorities are also working to establish referral mechanisms for suspected cases, strengthen surveillance at ports of entry and improve the capacity of healthcare facilities to manage possible infections.
