A male patient who tested positive to the disease was
reported to have escaped from a hospital in Ebonyi state to an unknown
destination.
The minister of health, Prof Isaac Adewole
expressed dismay concerning the situation stated that the patient could
not have absconded on his own without the help of some of the healthcare
givers in the hospital and has so far directed that the patient must
be looked for and treated immediately.
“He should be traced and
taken back to the facility. He should be reassured that he will live if
the treatment is done promptly as he could not have absconded on his own
without the support of the health officers.
He lamented that so
much is been expected from the Ebonyi state government as it has not
done enough. He said there was no need for patients to be transferred
to Irrua in Edo state when the state has a functional healthcare center.
