The World Report by Talha Burki
(Feb 24, p 728)1
described an
unprecedented astronomical rise in
Lassa fever cases in Nigeria, for which
the first case was reported in 1969
and the epidemiology and endemicity
are well understood. Failure of the
Nigerian health system to prioritise
preparedness activities has been
detrimental for prompt control of Lassa
fever, which requires robust laboratory
facilities, trained health personnel,
and coordinated epidemiological
surveillance.2
Therefore, we propose a
four-pronged plan to ensure consistent
and proactive preventive activities that
could ameliorate the high proportion
of fatalities and long-term debilitation
observed in outbreaks of Lassa fever
