“As we approach the festive period of the Salah celebrations, it is of utmost importance that we collectively prioritise the health and safety of our communities.

“Cholera, a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or water, has been reported in Bayelsa, Zamfara, Abia, Cross River, Bauchi, Delta, Katsina, Imo, Nasarawa, and Lagos States.’’

Asagbra said NBMA, in collaboration with health authorities, was actively monitoring the situation and implementing measures to contain the spread of the disease.

She also called on Nigerians to imbibe various hygiene practices such as boiling drinking water or using certified water purification methods.

According to her, there is need to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, especially before eating or preparing food.

The director-general also urged Nigerians to always wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet, cook food thoroughly and consume it while it was hot.

 

She advised that Nigerians avoid raw foods, such as fruits and vegetables unless they could be peeled or washed with safe water and to always keep the environment clean and dispose waste properly to prevent contamination.

“NBMA urges all Nigerians to be vigilant and adhere to these hygiene practices to protect themselves and their loved ones from cholera.

“We also encourage community leaders and health workers to disseminate this information and assist in educating the public about preventive measures.’’

She called on Nigerians to be alert and report any case of cholera to the nearest hospital.

“If you or anyone you know exhibits symptoms of cholera, which include severe diarrhea, dehydration and vomiting, seek urgent medical attention at the nearest hospital.’’

 

Asagbra noted that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.

“NBMA is committed to safeguarding the health of Nigerians; together, we can overcome this challenge and ensure a safe and healthy celebration for all,’’ Asagbra said.
