Tinubu Advocates for Ebola Prevention Measures in Abuja

On October 22, President Bola Tinubu stated that the Federal Government is pursuing preventive measures to combat Ebola infections. This announcement was made at the State House in Abuja after he received a fellowship from the West African College of Physicians.

Tinubu's remarks followed the confirmation of the first Ebola case in Abuja just two days prior. He highlighted the challenges faced in Africa regarding health issues and called for action to eliminate such infections.

The President also urged medical professionals to develop sustainable solutions to the migration of skilled health workers, which he noted strains health systems and limits access to essential services. He reaffirmed his administration's commitment to health sector reforms aimed at improving accessibility and affordability of care.

Tinubu commended Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, for his efforts in health reform. The fellowship awarded to Tinubu was in recognition of his contributions to health care delivery in the region.
