The Mayor Of Milwaukee Donates Hospital Equipment To AMAC—-The Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) on Thursday received hospital equipment donated to the Council by the Mayor of Milwaukee, U.S., Calvalier Johnson.

AMAC Chairman, Mr Christopher Maikalangu, while receiving the items in Abuja, promised to ensure that the equipment are distributed to clinics in need, with careful inventory management.

Maikalangu expressed his gratitude, emphasising the critical need for such equipment in local clinics.

“Today is my happy day because we are receiving a generous donation of hospital equipment from the United States.

“This donation, facilitated by the government of Wisconsin and the mayor of Milwaukee, Calvary Johnson, is a beacon of hope for grassroots clinics lacking essential medical facilities.

“In a step towards improving healthcare access for residents of the Abuja Municipal Area Council, I visited the Mayor in September, 2023.

“I told him about the challenges those at the grassroots are facing in terms of accessing good hospitals within AMAC.

“We are glad that we are receiving a trunk load of these items today. This showcased the impact of international collaboration on local communities,” he said.

He assured that measures have been put in place to ensure the items are not diverted to private hospitals.

Recognising the high value of the equipment, the AMAC boss said that personnel would be trained in their proper use to ensure effective healthcare delivery.

“One of these items donated to us cost about N160 million. So, I will distribute these items myself to ensure they are channeled to the rightful purposes,” he added.

Thecloudngr reports that some of the hospital equipment donated to AMAC include; 61 adult respiratory and antiseptic, 117 bandages, and dressing clinic supplies.

Others are; 10 dental and diabetes equipment, 108 gastrointestinal and gloves, 108 surgery syringe, 38 Tubing urology, 164 orthopedic appliances, 170-20 hoyer lift two, 171 commodes, 174 oxygen carts and orthopedic supplies among others.

NCDC Diminish Fears Of Covid-19 Variant XEC In Nigeria—-XEC variant was observed for potential concerns, but it does not yet pose a significant risk

TCN reports that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has reassured Nigerians that there is no cause for alarm following reports of the SARS-CoV-2 XEC variant, a sub-lineage of the Omicron strain, circulating in parts of the world, including Australia.

Director-General of NCDC, Dr Jide Idris, explained on Sunday that the XEC variant is classified as a Variant Under Monitoring (VUM). While the variant has been detected in 43 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, and recently in Africa (Botswana), it has yet to be identified in Nigeria.

He said the XEC variant was observed for potential concerns, but it does not yet pose a significant risk. He urged Nigerians to remain calm and continue adhering to basic preventive measures.

The JN.1 variant, a closely related Omicron sub-lineage, has been present in Nigeria since January 2024 and is also dominant globally. While the XEC variant demonstrates increased transmissibility, no evidence suggests it causes more severe illness.

Dr Jide reassured Nigerians that its COVID-19 Technical Working Group is closely monitoring the situation and analysing international and domestic data.

He advised Nigerians to stay informed through official channels and avoid spreading unverified information.

He also encouraged citizens to maintain personal hygiene, practice respiratory etiquette, use masks, get vaccinated and stay vigilant.

The DG urged healthcare workers to prioritise testing for respiratory and febrile illnesses and submit positive COVID-19 samples for genomic sequencing to aid monitoring efforts.

He also urged state governments to bolster health infrastructure, including diagnostic capabilities and public awareness campaigns, to enhance overall preparedness.
