I Don’t Know Whereabouts Of Chinese Doctors – Ehanire
Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire has said he does not know the whereabouts of Chinese doctors and technicians, who came into the country to offer assistance in the fight against coronavirus.
Speaking at the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Thursday, Ehanire wondered why there has been so much interest in knowing what the chinese are doing in the country.
“I want to explain first of all that I think not all of them were doctors and I heard that some of them are technicians, but they are staff of CCECC, the Ministry of health is not their host, so we can’t always explain what happened to them or where they are,” he told journalists.
“There seems to be a lot of interests in these doctors but they are the staff of a company and I think they are on the company visa. So I will be very happy if you don’t ask me about where they are because they are not really our guests in that sense.
“But we have been able to learn some things from them by interacting with them from their experience in their country, we shared ideas about what they did in their country in managing Covid -19.”
