The WHO Health Emergencies Programme is currently monitoring 116 events in the region. This week’s main articles cover the following events: 1 Overview Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Cameroon 2 -5 Ongoing events Yellow fever in Nigeria Humanitarian crisis (refugee) in Liberia. 6 Summary of major issues, challenges For each of these events, a brief description, followed by public health measures implemented and and proposed actions an interpretation of the situation is provided. A table is provided at the end of the bulletin with information on all new and ongoing public health 7 All events currently events currently being monitored in the region, as well as recent events that have been controlled being monitored and closed. Major issues and challenges include: Cameroon, along with many countries in the region, is starting to see an increase in daily numbers of new COVID-19 cases. Although response measures in the country are generally robust, increasing case numbers require increased attention to response activities, particularly around risk communication and community engagement in schools and colleges, with attention to social and public health measures, to prevent any further increase in cases. The yellow fever outbreak in Nigeria has a wide geographical range, which is of particular concern, with cases peaking in the past few weeks. Poor vaccine coverage has driven the outbreak, probably along with inadequate vector control, and reactive and routine vaccine coverage needs to be strengthened. The high case fatality ratio suggests poor case management, which needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Issues around coordination of the response and mobilization of resources show that the yellow fever response needs to be strengthened across all pillars. The refugee crisis in Liberia is of grave concern, particularly as numbers are expected to continue to increase into next year with political insecurity around presidential elections. The two main health risks are importation of cVDPV2 and COVID-19 from Cote d’Ivoire, into a region that has health systems that are already weak and overstretched and likely to be overwhelmed by refugees. 1 Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment Health Emergency Information and Risk Assessment Ongoing events 157 24 752 443 1.8% Coronavirus disease 2019 Cameroon Cases Deaths CFR EVENT DESCRIPTION Geographical distribution of cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 The weekly incidence of COVID-19 disease continues to increase cases in Cameroon as of 6 December 2020. with over 53 340 new cases reported from 45 countries and 1 052 new deaths from 26 countries reported in the previous seven days.

ABSTRACT Studies were carried out between June through December, 2007 to evaluate the quality of rural water supply for drinking in Ebonyi South Zone of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The rural communities of Ekoli Edda and Ozizza in Afikpo South L.G.A and parts of Okposi in Ohaozara L.G.A depend solely on spring water for their domestic needs. Samples from seven spring water sources in these areas were analyzed for some physico-chemical and microbial parameters by standard methods. Concentrations of some heavy metals; Cr, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni and Zn were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results of the chemical analysis compared favourably with the WHO standard for drinking water, except for the relatively high concentration of iron in samples SE 5 (0.79 mg/L) and SE 6 (0.58 mg/L), and the exceedingly high phosphate concentrations, ranging from 0.25 - 1.6mg/L in all the samples as against the WHO permissible limit of 0.1mg/L. The bacteriological analyses however revealed about 40% total coliform bacteria contamination, varying between 0 - 4 MPN/100 ml of water in five out of the seven samples tested.

  • Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report

    Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report

    ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA OUT-OF-SCHOOLCHILDREN SURVEY REPORT October, 2014 PREFACE The challenge of school-aged children who for one reason or another did not enrol in school at all or enrolled and later dropped out for whatever reason has been a perennial challenge to education the world over. Nigeria alone is said to house over 10 million out of school children. This is in spite of the universal basic education programme which has been running in the country since 1999. For Enugu State, it is not clear what the state contributes to that national pool of children who are reported to be out of school. Given the effort of the State Government in implementing the universal basic education programme, it is easy to assume that all children in Enugu State are enrolled and are attending school. This kind of assumption might not give us the benefit of knowing the true state of things as they relate to out-of-school children in our State. This is even more so given the State’s development and approval of the Inclusive Education Policy, which has increased the challenge of ensuring that every child of school age, no matter his or her circumstance of birth or residence, has access to quality education; hence, the need to be concerned even for only one child that is out of school. It is, therefore, in a bid to ascertain the prevalence of the incidence of children who are outside the school system, whether public or private, that the Ministry of Education and Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board collaborated with DFID-ESSPIN and other stakeholders to conduct the out of school children’s survey.
