So we decided to wait till Saturday to do it. On Friday, we told everyone on admission to go home so that we can do it on Saturday but we didn\u2019t get it done until very late on Saturday,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>Suleiman also explained that the hospital gave notice to all the hospitals in the Federal Capital Territory and other relevant bodies so that emergency cases would not be brought to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a circular to that effect and we copied everybody, all the hospitals and the secretariat.\u00a0 This is the season of snakes and we have had cases where we saw snakes in the ward. Usually we wait for 48 hours after fumigation, and then allow people to enter. When we came this morning, the patients and everybody were covering their noses and l could not help but to ask everyone to go home so that we can clean up the place,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said that it was unhealthy for anyone including the patients to come into contact with such environment.(NAN)<\/p>\n<pre>\n<br \/><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dailytrust.dailytrust.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=23383:hospital-sends-patients-home-over-fumigation&amp;catid=4:city-news&amp;Itemid=4\" title=\"Hospital sends patients\u2019 home over fumigation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hospital sends patients\u2019 home over fumigation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Written by &#8211; Tuesday, 19 July 2011 16:15 The Kubwa General Hospital yesterday did not attend to patients due to the fumigation of its premises. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-464147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
