Issue red alert on yellow fever now – Health Minister told

Health analyst, Samuel Arthur has called on the Ministry of Health to issue a red alert notice over the rising number of yellow fever cases and reported deaths, questioning why authorities waited until the situation escalated before intensifying public warnings.“For me every life matters, and I don’t know when the minister wants to raise the red alert and let us know that this thing is quite damaging.

While acknowledging the minister’s efforts to reassure the public, the health analyst insisted that authorities must clearly communicate the true scale of the situation, flag high-risk areas, and guide citizens on the steps they need to take immediately.
