The Commonwealth Medical Association, West African Region, has called on the Federal Government to provide a comprehensive life insurance for the 504 Nigerian health workers deployed in Ebola hit countries.
The Vice-President of the CMA, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, who commended the decision to send workers to the affected countries, also noted that there was the need to provide Personal Protective Equipment for the volunteers.

Enabulele said, “We also urge the provision of an adequate welfare package, Personal Protective Equipment and other support medical facilities.
“In our view, these and other appropriate conditions usually provided for international volunteers will help to inspire and motivate current and future volunteers to join in the global effort.
“We encourage the native countries of all volunteers from the West African sub-region to institute proactive measures to aid quick re-integration of all volunteers upon their return from the Ebola ravaged countries,”
He applauded the dedication of the volunteers, adding that their efforts in containing Ebola in the affected countries were commendable.
Enabulele added, “The Commonwealth Medical Association (West African Region) is proud of all volunteers that have so far offered to help their fellow global citizens in the Ebola ravaged countries. We assure them that their efforts will not be in vain.”
