Trump Sends 200 Ventilators To Nigeria by References :
12:52pm
US President Donald Trump has finally fulfilled his promise
to send ventilators to Nigeria.
Trump, in a telephone conversation with President
Muhammadu Buhari in April, pledged to support Nigeria’s
response to COVID-19 by sending ventilators.
However, the ventilators got to Nigeria five months after
the US president made the promise.
While receiving 200 ventilators on behalf of the federal
government from the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) at a ceremony in Abuja on Tuesday,
Osagie Ehanire, minister of health, said medical items are
critical to saving the lives of persons who have been
severely affected by COVID-19.
The minister said life has not been the same for Nigerians
since the first COVID-19 case was recorded in February.
“This donation consists of 200 ventilators, which, as we all
know by now, are a critical component of the response
strategy to save the lives of persons who have been
severely impacted by this viral infection,†he said.
“They will certainly be of great benefit to the people of
Nigeria and I wish to convey the appreciation of His
Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and of the government of Nigeria, to
President Donald Trump and the United States Government
for the generous consideration and friendly gesture.
“The Federal Ministry of Health, and its public health
Agency, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC),
have focused on providing guidance to tackle the
challenges.
“Our health workers have been trained and equipped and
are doing the needful to attend to COVID-19 patients and
give emergency care, while not losing sight of routine and
essential health services.â€
Ehanire asked the US to lend its full weight to global efforts
in finding vaccine against COVID-19.
“The speed and ease with which COVID-19 has spread
across the globe clearly shows that it is a threat to mankind.
Without the full collaboration of all nations, the threat of
covid to any one part of the world is a threat to all,†he said
