The Federal Government has launched a public call centre at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to serve the country on all public health emergencies.
While launching the call centre, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, reiterated the determination of the present administration to provide access to health care information that will keep diseases away from Nigeria.
He urged Nigerians to avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the centre to help government prevent diseases, especially the current Lassa fever outbreak.
The minister called on citizens who have symptoms of Lassa fever to call any of the 10 numbers 097000010—19 from anywhere in the country, and such would be directed to the appropriate state epidemiologist or referred to the nearest health facility.
The Minister also said where possible, patients could be picked up from their locations and taken to the nearest health facility.
He assured the public that anyone who uses the call facility will receive help.
