Executive Assistant on Political Matters Arede Edeinmene, has called on Delta State Governor Oborevwori, for swift intervention for people living in the Bulu-Ndoro community.
A cholera outbreak which claimed three lives has left many critically ill in Bulu-Ndoro community, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State.
While speaking to journalists in Warri, Edeinmene, who is one of the opinion leaders in Bulu-Ndoro community, Delta State, noted that cholera cases had overwhelmed the existing health centre in the community, adding that the healthcare personnel and facilities have been overstretched.
One of the major issues worsening the situation, according to Edeinmene, is the community’s reliance on contaminated river water for drinking and domestic use.
Calling for more medical manpower, supply of drugs and hospital equipment to complement the only existing health centre in the community, he expressed concern stating that some of the families have fled the community for fear of contracting the epidemic.
Edeinmene further charged the Delta State Governor to upgrade the existing health centre to accommodate a resident doctor with a functional water system and electricity.
