He said the state recorded deaths and infections since the outbreak of the disease from January to date, adding that the cases were higher than the previous ones.

 

“We have some outbreaks, especially we discussed Lassa fever outbreak during the council meeting.

 

“This year, we had higher number of Lassa fever suspected cases, 16 deaths and 130 confirmed cases.

 

“The mortality rate is 12.4 per cent but even though it’s dropping, there are some parts of the state which are affected more than others,” he said.

 

He listed the areas worst hit by the disease including Alkaleri, Kirfi, Bauchi and Tafawa Balewa.

 

The Commissioner said the council also reviewed some of the achievements recorded in the health sector under Bala Mohammed’s administration.

 

He said the government had rehabilitated and equipped 14 general hospitals and primary healthcare facilities across the state.

 

According to Gwalabe, the governor will soon inaugurate two modern primary healthcare facilities at Fadamamada and Gida-Dubu in the Bauchi metropolis.

 

The government, he said, contributed N100 million counterpart fund to the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund, and engaged 200 midwives on a contract basis under the National Primary Healthcare Gateway to address manpower gaps in the sector. (NAN)
