31 Jul 2015 / Nigeria, all ports
Following the recent development regarding the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), in the West African Sub-region and the need to prevent the importation and exportation of communicable diseases through the ports, Port Health Services, Federal Ministry of Health, do hereby require that henceforth any incoming vessel with an undiagnosed case of illness/sickness onboard will be first boarded by the Port Health Officials/Medical Team, before any other agency. This will enable [them] to ascertain the health status of the vessel as well as take all necessary measures needed to ensure the health and safety of other crew, in order to avert the risk of contracting any deadly communicable disease by all other personnel going onboard to discharge their duties. This measure is in accordance with the Nigerian Quarantine Act, Cap.384, Section 13 and the International Health Regulations, 2005, article 3. It is intended to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, to promote health and prolong life.
