Novel corona virus, first of its kind, newly discovered strain from the coronaviruses family, gaining famous recognition notable for invoking the largest recorded lockdown on global economy, job market world wide.
Apocalyptic, some have described it to be.
Year in, year out, the rise of sporadic diseases gradually settling into endemics and then an epidemic, is on the daily increase. Skyrocketing into a pandemic though, the COVID-19 is the first in a long time to be upgraded into such by the World Health Organization.
Ranging from past epidemics and pandemics overtime which include HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Flu, Cholera, Lassa fever, and as as a cure/stronger preventive measures are being researched and put in place, it is promising that this too will be defeated soon into the background.
Time will surely pass. During the course of this time though, it is expedient as health professionals that we play our part in curtailing the spread of the virus.
The primary line of action clamored is in tightening primary prevention; wash hands frequently, maintain thorough hygiene, keep to social distancing.
Volunteer where need be, help in spreading facts and discarding false news, sensitizing and health educating communities.
To our health professionals and senior colleagues at the frontline of combating this pandemic; a threat to the sanity of our public health, we salute your courage and strength.
Every health worker out there, working tirelessly in this pursuit, we celebrate your efforts.
Even with deteriorating working conditions, understaffing and underpayment, lack of basic amenities like PPEs in some facilities, the dedication to saving lives is so much palpable.
To the nurses, doctors, health attendants, who may have contracted the virus somehow in this cause, we pray you a safe recovery.
To those who have died in this service of humanity, your prints are ever remembered.
Our dear colleague, Nurse Justina Ejelonu, who died at the trail of the index case of the Ebolavirus in Nigeria, your name is ever remembered.
We keep these experiences engraved in ink in our journals. We seek solutions in evidence based research and hope in God. We share these memories in rememberance of our calling in service to humanity.
Cheers to all health workers world wide.
