Deputy Chief Medical Director (DCMD), Onitsha General Hospital, Dr. Nnamdi Ikpelinwa, has said the hospital was fully equipped and ready to receive coronavirus patients.
In an interview with journalists, he said though no case was brought to the hospital, health workers were ready to receive and treat COVID-19 patients.
He said there were still challenges facing the hospital, especially the provision of consumable facemasks and gloves.
He appealed to those who could help to provide these materials to come to their aid and called for incentives for health workers to motive and encourage them to do more as front liners in the fight against COVID-19.
