FCTA issues a communicable disease red alert notice.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration enhanced its disease surveillance system in response to reported cases of the comeback of Ebola and other communicable diseases in an effort to lessen its impact on the Territory. This information was provided to the media in Abuja during a briefing on the preparedness and reaction of the FCTA health sector by Dr. Sadiq Abdulrahaman, director of the FCT Public Health Department. As a result, at the direction of the FCT Health and Human Services Secretariat, the personnel of the Epidemiological Division of the Public Health Department have been placed on red alert. The FCT remains on high alert, according to Sadiq, despite the fact that there haven't been any significant illness outbreaks there in the last year.
