The government\u00a0 should play its role\u00a0 and the people theirs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe government is putting priority on healthcare, governance, leadership, service delivery, supply chain issues and health security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHealth is everybody\u2019s business. A change of behaviour is required because prevention is better than cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we need to do requires resources we don\u2019t have. We need to discover what is causing these diseases, monitor how it spreads and how to curb it\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing Director of Axa Mansard Health Limited, Tope Adeniyi, advised travelling citizens to invest in health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, he said, will enable them to stay protected in case of emergency healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also urged preventive issues, exercises, nutrition, rests and lifestyle. \u201cWe need to look at foods to recommend to Nigerians to prevent diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President of NSTM, Dr. Nkechi Ilodibia, said the event was a memorial to mark the legacy of Alakija while creating awareness on how to promote medicine in Nigeria globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention,&nbsp;Dr Jide Idris, has said a state of emergency may be declared for cholera if cases exceed a controllable level.
