STIGMA HAUNTING COVID 19 RECOVERED PATIENTS – NABDAM MP

The
Member of Parliament (MP) for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, a medical doctor, has said the stigmatisation associated with testing positive to the coronavirus makes it impossible to disclose the identities of persons who will test positive to the virus.


The MP reacting to reports that some MPs and parliamentary staffs had tested positive to the virus in a meet the press series on the floor of Parliament Wednesday, bemoaned that, the stigmatisation in our societies towards COVID 19 patients kill their souls adding that the society should embrace their relative in a warm manner when returned from isolation/quarantine centers.

He recounted how some recovered persons had to suffer in public through stigma.

This he said makes it difficult to reveal the identity of people who will test positive.
