On 19 April 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) in Nigeria confirmed the first case of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as one staff member in the field tested positive.
The staff, Dr Haruna Ismaila Adamu who tested positive to covid-19 has finally been discharged from the case management center after spending three weeks of treatment at the isolation and case management center in Bauchi.
I received tremendous and consistent support from WHO, both from WHO Country office (WCO) and Bauchi office from first day of my admission up to the time of discharge.
This we must do for the sake of our families, the larger society and most importantly for our health heroes, the frontline health and medical workers who continue to risk their lives and those of their loved ones to give COVID-19 positive individuals the medical care they require.
Notwithstanding, the UN System in Nigeria continues to provide optimal support to the government of Nigeria in its response to COVID-19 pandemic
