Study shows not all sanitisers in circulation are up to standard – Health Minister

Ehanire

The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, on Tuesday, said a study carried out by a research institution in the Federal Ministry of Health revealed that not all sanitisers in circulation are of standard.

Ehanire said this at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja.

He also gave an advisory on identifying standard sanitisers in the market, stressing the importance of checking the NAFDAC number and ingredients used in producing the sanitiser.

“I will start by using the opportunity to issue an advisory on sanitiser. You will see a lot of sanitisers out in the market. A study carried out by research institution in the Ministry of Health has shown not all of them are up to standard.

“In buying sanitisers, there is an advisory I will like to share. You must look first of all at the NAFDAC number. A sanitiser should have a NAFDAC number.

“Secondly, it should have a place where the ingredients are displayed. You must see that it contains a minimum of 60% alcohol. If it is anything different from that, the sanitiser is not going to do the job you think it is doing,” he said.

The Minister also gave an update on health workers who have recovered from COVID-19. He said the health workers are currently being monitored for a period of 14 days before they return to work.
