  • Nigeria MLA Replies to the Pandemic Response Questionnaire
    ANSWERS TO QUESTIONAIRE OF THE CMI ON PANDEMIC RESPONSE 1. Yes. 2. Yes. By virtue of the fact that Nigeria and some other 190 States did not make reservations to it. 3. Yes 4. Regulations have been made awaiting Ministerial Approval 5. Yes Came into force in Nigeria on 5th March, 1967 6. Attempts to implement the Convention have been made. However the full implementation is slowed down by several bureaucratic hiccups. 7. Yes. In the wake of the outbreak of Ebola, mild checks were put in place at entry points before grant of entrance especially for people from the Countries that had outbreak of Ebola 8. Yes. 9. (a) Nigeria adopted four major steps which had great impact in curtailing the spread of the Ebola Pandemic. They were: (i) Trace, Isolate, and Treat: Since it was confirmed that Ebola patients are not contagious until they exhibit symptoms such as fever, it was possible to adopt these strategies. Because, the source of Ebola into Nigeria was quickly traced to a Liberian American, Patrick Sawyer, who came to Nigeria in July 2014, Nigerian government/ health workers in charge could trace all the people that had contact, one way or the other, to Patrick Sawyer and the health personnel that had treated him or his contacts. In this wise, the victims’ close contacts were identified, isolated and they were educated about the symptoms. After a few lapses, proper medical protocol kept health care workers from getting sick. (ii) Early Detection before many people could be exposed: It is generally believed that anyone with Ebola, typically, will infect about two more people, unless something is done to intervene.

  • Impact of Ebola Virus Disease on School Administration in Nigeria
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5, No. 3; June 2015 Impact of Ebola Virus Disease on School Administration in Nigeria Oladunjoye Patrick, PhD Major, Nanighe Baldwin, PhD Niger Delta University Educational Foundations Department Wilberforce Island Bayelsa State Nigeria Abstract This study is focused on the impact of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) on school administration in Nigeria. Two hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. A questionnaire titled Ebola Virus Disease and school administration (EVDSA) was used to collect data. The instrument was administered to one hundred and seventeen (117) teachers and eighty three (83) school administrators randomly selected from the three (3) regions in the federal republic of Nigeria. This instrument was however validated by experts and tested for reliability using the test re-test method and data analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The result shows that there is a significant difference between teachers and school heads in urban and rural areas on the outbreak of the EVD. However, there is no significant difference in the perception of teachers and school heads in both urban and rural areas on the effect of EVD on attendance and hygiene in schools. Based on these findings, recommendations were made which include a better information system to the rural areas and the sustenance of the present hygiene practices in schools by school administrators. Introduction The school and the society are knitted together in such a way that whatever affects the society will invariably affect the school. When there are social unrest in the society, the school attendance may be affected.

    International Journal of Nursing Research (IJNR) International Peer Reviewed Journal Review article Ebola virus disease: Comprehensive review Archana R. Dhanawade Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Nursing,, Sangli, Maharashtra, India Abstract Ebola is a Filoviridae virus with characteristic filamentous structure of a thread virus. It became a global threat when its outbreak has affected lives of thousands of people including doctors, nursing staff, healthcare workers. The virus spreads via direct contact with blood or body fluids from an infected person in an uncontrolled manner with limited treatment options. The Ebola virus disease is a very serious health problem causing major deaths within a short period. As there are no specific treatment or vaccines available, prevention is the only option to control the spread of disease. So, the health team members, the staff nurses who are more prone to this disease should have adequate knowledge about the disease and its prevention to handle the situation.
