  • House Committee pledges changes to laws for stronger HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria fight
  • The committee aims to collaborate with stakeholders and the administration to deliver democratic dividends and combat diseases effectively

The House Committee on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and Malaria has promised to make necessary changes to existing laws to strengthen the fight against the diseases.

Hon. Amobi Ogah, Chairman of the Committee, stated this during a press conference in Abuja, saying the committee would work with relevant stakeholders to improve the fight and ensure that money budgeted for it is used for that purpose.

Ogah stated that the House Committee is aware of the difficulties Nigerians face in combating these diseases, particularly the control of malaria, which appears to defy solutions.

The chairman promised that the committee would work tirelessly in accordance with the 10th legislative agenda to deliver democratic dividends to the people and, as a result, collaborate with the current administration in the fight against diseases.

How my first grandchild bled to death at FG hospital – Akpabio

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has disclosed that his first grandchild died at a federal government hospital in 2019.

Akpabio made the disclosure on Friday during the screening of the Lagos state ministerial nominee, Dr Tunji Alausa.

Akpabio said that he lost his grandchild to medical negligence and dereliction of duty at a federal medical centre.

According to him, the deceased bled to death after the drip he received finished in the middle of the night, and no medical worker was around to attend to him.

His words:

Like every other person, I have been a victim of medical neglect. I lost my first grandchild in 2019 in a federal medical centre.

He died through bleeding. He was receiving drip and it was tissued in the night. There was no help, no doctor, no nurse.

He bled until he lost over 60 percent of his blood and was almost going mental, he struggled and fell on the floor., he was looking for water to drink.

He rolled on the floor outside and entered the early morning dew, and poured the dew all over his body, and that was where they found him.
