Funny how we Nigerians under rate Malaria, and even ignore to treat ourselves sometimes, simply because it is 'common'. This is a disease that kills, within the twinkle of an eye.
Sadly a staff with Turkish Airlines fell prey to the disease after a working trip to Nigeria.
Selda Durmaz lost her life on Friday night in an Istanbul hospital as a result of a mosquito bite in Nigeria, while she was on duty.
Durmaz flew with air passengers to Nigeria’s capital city of Lagos state hale and hearty . When she returned back to Istanbul, she went to the hospital because of a persistent high fever. Twice she was diagnosed with the flu, according to allegations, but the third hospital diagnosed her with malaria.Durmaz was later given medical treatment in Istanbul at a private hospital, but she lost her life on
Friday night at around 2 a.m.May her soul rest in Peace.
An expatriate was also on the brink of losing his life just yesterday as a result of mosquito bite. Let us keep our environments clean and eradicate malaria.
