 As more residents in flood ravaged communities continue to count their losses, the Nigerian Medical Association NMA in River State set up a disaster management committee to provide quick and appropriate emergency medical assistance to victims in the state. The NMA chairman in the state, Dr. A.B. Robinson, disclosed this when some ex-co-members of the association visited some IDP camps in the east local government area of River State. Dr. Robinson urged all hands to be on deck in Givensaker to flood victims. The Nigerian Medical Association as a body of doctors have activated fully the disaster management committee but we came here as ex-co-members to have a firsthand assessment of what is going on in the IDP camps and that's why we came here to see what is going on, what are their needs so that we can also help and make recommendations to our disaster management committee on what to come up with so that we can assist them because we know at this point in time, prevented care is very important. At this point in time the people in the IDP camps might need good water supply, they might need some form of relief materials so the Nigerian Medical Association is working around to ensure that we give them the support that is required. It's part of what we have planned is to set up a medical camp in the IDP and ensure that the communicable diseases that are very eminent are being controlled so we are going to set up a medical camp that is part of what the disaster management committee that have been activated by the Nigerian Medical Association is going to do so on our own we will try our best, we'll set up a medical camp, treat them, give them medicines, make appropriate diagnosis, give medications and ensure that these people have a relatively good life.
