The Director of the Pax Herbal Clinic and Research Laboratories, Ewu in Edo State, Rev. Fr. Anslem Adodo, has announced that the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has finally approved their herbal remedy for the cure of symptoms ass -ociated with COVID-19.
In a personal memo that went viral on social media, Fr. Adodo said: “After a series of screening, spanning eight weeks, NAFDAC has today approved our Paxherbal COVID-19 herbal drug, Paxherbal Cugzin, for public use.
It is the first to be so approved and presently the only one. The drug is specifically for treating the symptoms associated with the coronavirus.”
     
Rev.Fr. Anslem Adodo:The Director Of Pax Herbal Clinic and Research Laboratories
He said NAFDAC had earlier given tacit approval for the drug to be used, even though the body was yet to announce that approval officially; hence the initial packs of the herbal remedy carried the disclaimer, “these claims have not yet been verified by NAFDAC.”
But with that hurdle crossed, Paxherbal Cugzin now has the NAFDAC number: A7-4358L.
Pax Herbal Cugzin, which had earlier been produced under the brand name, ‘CVD PLUS,’ before it was rebranded to ‘Paxherbal Cugzin,’ is in capsules and packaged in a container of eighty 400mg capsules, each containing Garcinia Kola, Curcuma Longa and Zingiber officinale.
       
 CUGZIN:This Drug Is Believed To Boost Immune System Against coronavirus

On April 29, the Pax Herbal Clinic and Research Laboratories released a press statement on its official Facebook page “About Cure For COVID-19,” though the claim was really about the “treatment” of COVID-19.

      Could   there be a link between poverty, crowded accommodation, and Africa's bafflingly low infection and death rates from the pandemic? Experts try to unravel the mystery.  As the number of infections dips sharply in South Africa, and stays relatively low across much of the continent, experts are reaching towards a startling hypothesis. Crowded townships. Poor hygiene. The impossibility of social distancing in communities, where large families often share a single room. Crowded townships. Poor hygiene. The impossibility of social distancing in communities, where large families often share a single room. For months health experts have been warning that living conditions in poor, urban communities across Africa are likely to contribute to a rapid spread of coronavirus. "Population density is such a key factor. If you don't have the ability to social distance, the virus spreads," said Professor Salim Abdool Karim, the head of South Africa's ministerial advis...

COVID-19:WHO Announces Distribution plans Of Vaccines Across The World

By
Image
  As the possibility of a widely available COVID-19 vaccine steadily draws nearer, initial limitations in supply have left experts worldwide asking: Who should get the vaccine first? The World Health Organization and its appointed Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, have announced a worldwide vaccine distribution plan — it pushes back on so-called vaccine nationalism, the idea that each country should prioritize its own citizens. Instead, the WHO adopts a global approach, prioritizing vaccination among the most vulnerable people everywhere. “The first priority must be to vaccinate some people in all the countries, rather than all the people in some countries,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in Geneva on Friday. “Vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it.” The WHO’s proposed vaccine distribution framework would ensure all countries access to the novel coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available.
