Chukwuka, who represented the Commissioner for Health, Dr Josephat Akabuike, at the occasion, said the training workshop was a proactive measure.
“It is a training workshop for health professionals in the 21 local government areas of the state who would sensitize and disseminate information about Lassa fever to the grassroots.
