Iberekodo Primary Health Centre in Ibeju-Lekki Faces Severe Neglect, Putting Residents at Risk Advocacy group Tracka has raised alarm over the deteriorating condition of Iberekodo Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos. The facility, serving thousands, reportedly has a broken roof, leaking ceilings, no running water, and non-functional medical equipment, making it unsafe for patients and staff. Pregnant women, children, and other vulnerable residents are particularly at risk. The group calls on Lagos State Government, the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, and the Federal Ministry of Health to urgently renovate and equip the PHC. #LagosHealth #IberekodoPHC #PublicHealthNigeria

BREAKING: 28 Persons Infected As Rare Flesh-Eating Disease Hits Adamawa, Authorities Await Diagnosis At least 28 people have been struck by a rare disease in Adamawa State, with victims suffering flesh and bone destruction. Dr. Suleiman Bashir, Chairman of the Adamawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, confirmed the outbreak on Saturday, noting that specimens have been sent to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in Abuja for analysis. Results are expected in 10 days. While eight victims are receiving treatment at the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital (MAUTH), Yola, others continue to rely on local remedies despite free government treatment. The outbreak is most severe in Malabu, Fufore LGA, where residents report symptoms beginning as boils before spreading into deep wounds that eat into flesh and bones. Authorities have urged residents to seek prompt medical care and report unusual health cases, warning against reliance on traditional medicine. The development has rekindled concerns about Nigeria’s preparedness against emergent health crises, recalling past outbreaks such as meningitis (1996), lead poisoning in Zamfara (2010), Ebola (2014), and Lassa fever. #Adamawa #PublicHealth #NCDC
