CORONA VIRUS: IMPORTANCE OF OUR HEALTH ARE FACILITIES
Dear Sir,
The corona virus caught us unawares to a large extent. Many of us did not know what to do to prevent it, even though we got guidelines on the mass media, the hospitals were largely uninformed about some important information about the virus early on which caused quite a number of avoidable deaths. Our health care workers have worked valiantly to curb this menace that has come upon not just our society but the whole world but at a time, even they were overwhelmed.
The importance of our healthcare facilities cannot be overemphasised so in the wake of recent happenings, I do hope you will include more editorials in the paper about steps to make sure we don't have such number of tragedies from any other outbreak in the future.
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Emma White.
