Oxygen, oxygen, oxygen : Nigeria battles shortages amid Covid-19 surge

Getty Images Nigeria, population 200 million, was spared the worst in its first Covid-19 wave that began in February last year. But a second wave has hit hard. More than half of Nigeria s 131 242 confirmed cases have been logged in the past three months. Authorities pledged in January to build a new oxygen plant in each of Nigeria s 36 states. The Lagos businesswoman recalled the horrendous week she spent in the Covid-19 wing of a city public hospital, where the sense of crisis was lifted only briefly by whoops of joy when a patient secured one of the few available tanks of oxygen.

Antigen testing is a game-changer in fight against deadly virus

Country Director for CHAI Mr Gerald Macharia said 2,000 rapid antigen testing kits will be donated to Nakuru County to kick start the testing. “CHAI will also support the training of 60 Medical Lab Technologists on the Covid-19 Rapid Antigen testing,” he said. Rapid antigen testing is a diagnostic test that directly detects the presence or absence of a specific protein (antigen) that causes Covid-19. The technology does not require a laboratory for the processing of results, which are processed within 15 minutes. Also, with the technology, individuals who are at a greater risk of contracting the virus can easily be identified. Nakuru Chief Officer of Public Health Samuel King’ori said the technology will boost the fight against the spread of the virus.
