A pharmaceutical firm, Reals Pharmaceutical Limited, has taken significant steps to assist states in the country grappling with cholera outbreaks by donating its innovative ready-to-drink Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) known as ‘Electrorush.’
This move comes as the country faces a surge in cholera cases with over 10,837 suspected cases and 359 deaths reported in 2024 alone, according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
In response to the public health crisis, Reals Pharmaceutical Limited delivered a substantial quantity of Electrorush to Ebonyi State, one of the states hardest hit by the outbreak.
The donation is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting public health initiatives in Nigeria, and it aims to alleviate the suffering of those affected by cholera.
During the donation ceremony at the Ebonyi State Ministry of Health in Abakaliki, the Group Managing Director of Reals Pharmaceutical Limited, Ade Popoola, commended the state government’s efforts at controlling the outbreak, emphasising the importance of rehydration in cholera treatment.
