Archbishop Kaigama Urge Federal Govt To Take Care Of Doctors

Ignatius Kaigama, the Archbishop of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese, has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to take proper care of doctors in Nigeria.

The cleric noted that medical workers are getting scared of treating patients with or without coronavirus.

Kaigama further stated on Tuesday that there must be sufficient Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical personnel.

“There should be provision for more people to get tested and healthcare workers should be equipped with PPEs so that they don’t need to run away from patients. That I have malaria may not be COVID-19″, he said.

He advised the federal government to provide more testing facilities and enough equipment for health workers to work with.

Kaigama added that people that tested positive should be provided with good isolation centres to hasten their recovery.

“If the isolation centres are not conducive, people will not be willing to open up when they are suspected to have the virus”, he said.

Kaigama appealed to churches, corporate organisations, groups, and individuals to support ongoing efforts.

“This is not the time to play politics, we can see that the government is interested in combating COVID-19.”
