MSF wraps up yellow fever emergency response in Enugu state, Nigeria.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) revealed that from November 1 to 11 of this year, 76 people died from Yellow Fever in Bauchi, Delta, and Enugu States. The outbreak resurgence in Nigeria early last month was reported worrying having led to many cases and deaths across five of the country’s 36 states.

MSF being active in neighboring Ebonyi State, responded to Enugu State, south-east Nigeria request of support. MSF teams implemented different activities to boost the prevention and management of this, if left untreated, life-threatening disease. The teams are in addition working on community sensitization and awareness raising. All suspected cases were treated either by mobile clinic or at MSF supported secondary hospital in the Local Government Areas (LGAs) and tertiary hospital at State Capital level.
