In most societies, Leaders were elected to provide the necessities of life to the wider majority
This include sound education,roads network ,effective health care services,beefing security,job opportunities but to mention a few
That’s why in the United States during the time of Barack Obama he established a coordinated health care scheme named Obamacare while in other developed nations similar visionary plans were initiated aimed at providing succour to the less privileged in the midst of the greater majority
Justifiably,such ideas needs to be given a pat on the back as it shown much concern to the plight of commoners who have been in precarious condition
To cut it short ,for years now the wider environment has been experiencing health challenges in period like this that is during rainy season or when harmattan was about to set in
This situation which causes anger and discomfort to the members of the society as they scampered for medical assistance across mush rooms patent stores otherwise called chemist and quack Doctors within neighbourhood
This condition plain and simple put the lives of the victims in real danger as in most cases such kind of a problem led to loss of lives of both the young and the old as it has been the situation at present
It was sad to note that when the rich rushed to special clinics both at home and overseas in ordeal like this or otherwise the ordinary citizenry were usually left at the mercy of unqualified personnels who mostly failed to give out required prescriptions for victims
While some responsible administrators should be extolled for taken precautionary measures in dealing with the situation which has now been a recurrent decimal,there is the need for those concern to show greater effort with a view to tackling the matter which is beginning to degenerate as of now across the length and breadth of the community
This could be practical if action is taken in fighting the upsurge in the breed of anopheles mosquito and the likes which are the major causes of the yearly problem
Likewise a well coordinated project to be explored towards the provision of potable drinking water through the establishment of modular water treatment plants, massive drilling of boreholes as well as the provision of chemicals to existing ones and enough professionals to man them
Government to be proactive towards convening a gathering with actors in the field with a view to providing a workable template that would help in tackling the matter once and for all
The well to do and community Development Associations to buckle up in through initiating a well and formulated fumigation exercise to guard against the breeding of mosquitoes, periodic drainage clearance,
Residents to also accord a helping hand through keeping their surroundings clean and neat,avoid dumping of refuse in gutters and ensure construction of drainages across new suburbs
While outfits like Refuse Management organisations and related partners should be supported financially and logistically to carry out their functions
Health institutions to be sufficiently equipped with qualified staffers medicaments and working tools so as to carry out their assignments devoid of qualms
Definitely if such steps were taken directly or indirectly, it would by no means help seriously in lessening the ravaging condition on annual basis
