Twenty doctors in the University of Ilorin Teaching hospital have contracted the novel virus, Covid-19.
President of
the Association of Resident Doctors of the hospital, Badmus Habeeb on Wednesday
said the doctors contracted the virus within the past three weeks, saying
resident doctors are combating the pandemic based on the available resources.
Mr. Badmus
noted that although Covid-19 vaccine has been discovered, and it has brought
hope and relief for everyone, it seems Nigeria may not get the vaccine anytime
soon.
He bewailed
poor resource setting in the country, where the necessities to make the rollout
of the Covid-19 vaccines easy and possible, are not readily available.
However, Mr
Badmus urged Nigerians to get vaccinated when the vaccine is available,
stressing that” this is not the best times for us and our families and the
affected patients”.
