 Ebonyi Records 23 Deaths, 48 Lassa Fever Cases, Governor Nwifuru Reports


Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has confirmed that between January and December 2024, the state has recorded 23 deaths and 48 confirmed cases of Lassa fever.


Nwifuru also shared that 25 individuals infected with the disease were treated and discharged. He expressed sorrow for those who lost their lives and commended Doctors Without Borders (MSF) for their role in saving those who survived.


The governor made this announcement during the handover of MSF’s Lassa fever support activities to the state’s Ministry of Health. He expressed concern over the high fatality rate of Lassa fever, both within Ebonyi and across Nigeria.


“The significant humanitarian contributions of MSF to the health and well-being of our people in Ebonyi State are invaluable. As a government, we are deeply grateful,” said Nwifuru. He praised MSF’s efforts, highlighting the organization’s support in surveillance, diagnosis, case management, prevention, and control measures for Lassa fever since their partnership with the state began in 2018.


Lassa fever, a viral hemorrhagic fever spread by multi-mammate rats, has become endemic in Nigeria and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Ebonyi’s tropical environment, where the virus’s animal hosts and reservoirs are prevalent. Outbreaks typically occur from December to April.


Governor Nwifuru pointed to poor health-seeking behavior, inadequate sanitation, lack of awareness, and limited community engagement as factors contributing to the spread of the disease. He reiterated the state government’s commitment to improving healthcare, focusing on diseases like Lassa fever and cholera.


He also highlighted his administration’s efforts to enhance healthcare, including the recruitment of qualified personnel, procurement of medical equipment, and the revitalization of 171 primary healthcare centers. Furthermore, new ambulances, motorcycles for healthcare officers, and SUVs for doctors at general hospitals have been provided.


“I pledge to offer you all necessary support to achieve your goals in Ebonyi State,” Governor Nwifuru concluded.
