As fresh cases of Coronavirus disease
continue to emerge in Lagos State, putting the total number of confirmed
cases in the state to 32. Musa Halilu Ahmed Foundation a non-profit
organisation committed to promoting good health and wellbeing for the
underserved in Nigeria has embarked on a state-wide coronavirus relief
effort by distributing prevention kits to residents and Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) - the state-owned teaching
hospital; to prevent and halt the spread of the virus.
The
fight against the novel coronavirus being spearheaded by the foundation
is borne out of the organisations proactive drive to help citizens and
government fight the virus, which is gradually spreading across the
country. “Never has it been more critical to prepare, provide and
protect underserved communities in Lagos state from the lingering
disease burden. The choice of donating protective kits to frontline
responders and marginalised residents was a deliberate decision made by
the foundation in a bid to consolidate governments effort in halting the
spread before it becomes an uncontrollable epidemic”, said the Founder
and Executive Director of the Foundation Alhaji Musa Halilu Ahmed -
Dujima Adamawa the 1st.
The
Management team of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital led by
Prof Fabamwo commended the effort of the foundation, stating that the
act was laudable, at such a critical point in time where the government
alone is unable to fight the scourge. He encouraged other organisations
to take a cue and emulate the gestures of the foundation in ensuring the
spread of the coronavirus remains minimal.
The
foundation’s team lead Mr Sam Ejiwunmi further urged all Nigerians to
ensure they take precautionary measures at all time and Stay Safe! Stay
Aware! and Stay Calm!
