WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 • THISDAY 49 NEWSEXTRA WHO Sets up $100m Contingency Funds for Healthcare Emergencies Nigeria presents score card Paul Obi in Abuja with agency reports The World Health Organisation (WHO) yesterday at the 68th World Health Assembly (WHA) said it would set up a $100 million contingency fund to tackle healthcare emergencies mostly in the developing world. WHO Director General, Dr, Margaret Chan, made this known while declaring open the 68th World Health Assembly. Chan vowed that never will the agency and the world be taken by surprise again as witnessed with the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), cholera, meningitis and other diseases. The WHO DG told the assembly that “with the support of member states, I am establishing a $100 million contingency fund, financed by flexible voluntary contributions, to ensure we have the necessary resources available to immediately mount an initial response. “I am making the following five changes: I am creating a unified WHO programme for health emergencies, accountable to me. I am establishing clear performance metrics for the programme, built on partnerships with other responders. “I am establishing a global health emergency workforce, and I am strengthening our core and surge capacity of trained emergency response staff. I am developing new business processes to facilitate a rapid and effective response,” Chan stressed. She added: “I have proposed options for a new $100 million NAFDAC expresses concern over laboratory testing Paul Obi in Abuja Indications emerged yesterday that the packaged water industry in the country now generates N8 billion turnover daily. The Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr Paul Orhii, made the revelation at the presentation of annual report on packaged water in Abuja. The DG explained that the “primary objective of annual packaged water monitoring exercise was to ensure that existing packaged water producers comply strictly with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) without compromising quality and safety of consumers. “Besides, the agency cannot afford to toy with an industry whose daily turnover is now estimated at N8 billion. This is due to the importance of safety of water for consumption, the increased need to continually and proactively prevent water-borne diseases,” Orhii observed. He explained that “the outcome of this exercise in the contingency fund. I do not ever again want to see this organisation faced with a situation it is not prepared, staffed, funded, or administratively set up to manage. We will move forward on an urgent footing. I plan to complete these changes by the end of the year. “Countries need well-functioning health systems that can withstand shocks, whether these are caused by a changing climate, a runaway virus, or an overload of patients with non-communicable diseases. “As a defence against the infectious disease threat, countries also need the core capacities required to implement the International Health Regulations. Doing so is critical to the global health security agenda. Chan also commended Nigeria’s efforts on polio eradication, stating that “we are now closer than ever to polio eradication. The situation in Nigeria looks extremely encouraging, with no cases reported for the past nine months. Afghanistan and Pakistan have both made great strides despite severe challenges. This is one initiative that must not fail. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Health, Mr. Fidelis Nwankwo, addressed delegates on the first day of the 68th World Health Assembly holding in Geneva, Switzerland, where he presented Nigeria’s achievements. Nwankwo used the opportunity to appreciate the WHO and its leadership for its work, especially for its handling of the various Nigerian Packaged Water Industry Now Generates N8bn Daily form of generated data would be considered as national data on packaged water quality parameters profiling that will be shared with relevant stakeholders.” Orhii further expressed concern over quality testing laboratories in the country, warning that the inability of producers to adhere to best practices would compel the agency to wield the big stick. “The agency will be left with the only option of closing down such erring factories if producers failed to subject their water to quality status profile analysis,” the DG said. While making his presentation, the consultant for the project and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Emani Global Network Nig. Ltd, Emmanuel Osiegwu, said the report remains a very critical component of national data on water consumption in the country. Osiegwu explained that the new report would now act as a guide to innovations and the need to revamp the water industry. global health challenges. He observed that the efforts of WHO are in line with Nigeria’s own national goals and objectives. The minister informed the assembly that the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) which was established in 2012 has been expanded and strengthened to provide infrastructure and capacity to respond to public health threats. He said it was Nigeria’s expectation that the centre can be further adapted to serve as one of the hubs of the African Centres for Disease Control that will provide the requisite system that can respond to any threats to public health in the African region. The minister used the occasion to highlight some of Nigeria’s WELCOME TO ONDO Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, flanked by the country representative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF), Ratidzai Nahlovu (left) and Commissioner for Health, Dr. Dayo Adeyanju (right), during a visit by the UNPF Representative to the governor, at the Government House, in Akure...yesterday Senate Suspends Plenary for Zannah, Holds Valedictory for Him, Chukwumerije Today Ekweremadu mourns foremost activist, Ezeazu Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja The Senate yesterday suspended its plenary secession in honour of its member, Senator Ahmad Zannah (Borno Central), who died on Saturday in Abuja after battling cancer for weeks. In the same vein, the Senate will hold valedictory sessions today in honour of both Zannah and Senator Uche Chukwumerije (Abia North), who passed on April 19, 2015, at the Turkish Hospital, Abuja. Whereas the Senate had earlier scheduled a valedictory session in honour of Chukwumerije for today, the demise of Zannah on Saturday, compelled the chambers to redesign the sessions for the two deceased legislators simultaneously. While Zannah had since been buried in Bama, his town in Borno State, according to Islamic rites, Chukwumerije will be buried on Friday, May 22, in achievements in the health sector, recalling that although Nigeria was one of the countries that was affected by the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), it was however, the first country to be certified EVD free by the WHO on October 20, 2014. He maintained that the success the country recorded in containing the EVD outbreak remained. “a remarkable feat,” pointing out that political leadership, a command and control structure, multi-sectorial engagement and support of development partners were all critical to Nigeria’s success. He noted that Nigeria extended similar solidarity and support to its neighbours who were contending with the his home town, Ngodo Isuochi in Abia State. The Senate in its usual tradition held a minute silence in honour of Zannah yesterday before adjourning till today. In his remarks before the adjournment, Senate President, David Mark, said: “In keeping with the tradition of the Senate, we will not sit today (yesterday). There will be joint valedictory sessions for both Chukwumerije and Zannah tomorrow (today) where senators are expected to dress in black or in white with black stripes.” Meanwhile, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday expressed deep sorrow over the death of pro-democracy activist, Mr. Emma Ezeazu, describing him as a credible social mobiliser who gave his life to his fatherland. Ezeazu, until his death, led Alliance for Credible Elections (ACE), a vibrant civil group Ebola epidemic by sending over 250 volunteers to Liberia and Sierra Leone, which he observed, was the largest contingent of the African Union mission to help support Ebola containment efforts. The minister informed the assembly that although Nigeria had been certified Ebola free, it is not resting on its oars but rather maintaining up-most vigilance, has stepped up research into the disease and is implementing a post-Ebola containment plan. EVD was a recurring topic highlighted by a majority of speakers during the assembly including the guest speaker of the occasion and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and which campaigned vigorously for electoral reforms as well as the implementation of Justice Mohammed Uwais’ committee’s recommendations on electoral reforms. He was the President of National Association for Nigeria Students (NANS) at the University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka, in the 1980s. In a statement by Uche Anichukwu, his Special Adviser, Media, Ekweremadu said Ezeazu was one Nigerian who contributed immensely to the deepening of democracy in the nation. His words: “The death of Emma Ezeazu is a huge setback to the efforts to deepen democratic rule and good governance in Nigeria. He was forthright and absolutely tenacious in faith in Nigeria’s brighter future through the strengthening of democratic institutions and the electoral process. “He was particularly helpful the Director General of WHO, Dr. Margaret Chan. According to Dr. Chan, “The Ebola outbreak shook this Organisation to its core.” The minister further used the occasion to highlight Nigeria’s unprecedented progress in curbing the scourge of poliomyelitis, noting that the country has successfully interrupted polio transmission in the last 10 months. While calling on partners and the world health body to continue to support Nigeria’s efforts, he assured that Nigeria would continue to sustain it intervention, vigilance and surveillance efforts with deep commitment. to the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution in 6th National Assembly. Because of the consecutive disappointments among the citizenry over the previous inability of the National Assembly to amend the constitution, not many Nigerians gave us any chance. But Ezeazu was among the compatriots who believed in us. He galvanised the civil societies support for the Constitution and Electoral Act amendment efforts that produced the improved elections the nation enjoys today.” Ekweremadu regretted that Ezeazu departed when the fruits of his age-long struggle was beginning to manifest, noting also that his intellect, patriotic zeal and wealth of experience in nation-building would be highly missed. He prayed God to grant the deceased eternal rest, and his survivors the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
