Ebola: FG summons another NCH meeting

The Federal Government has convened another emergency meeting of the National Council of Health over the Ebola Virus Disease, barely two weeks after the last one was held.
The Special Assistant (Media and Communications) to the Minister of Health, Dan Nwomeh, confirmed to one of our correspondents that the NCH meeting would hold on Monday  in Abuja.
Nwomeh said, “The meeting will hold Monday at Barcelona Hotel, Wuse.” The minister’s aide, however did not give agenda of the meeting.
But the Kogi State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Omede Idris, told one of our correspondents that the emergency National Council of Health meeting would “review the situation, preparedness by states and ascertain their compliance with the recommendation of the last meeting.”
The NCHM comprises the minister of health, all state commissioners of health, including the FCT. Except in an emergency, the council meets once in a year.
