It seems Nigeria has everything under control regarding this
Ebola. I am glad that we are recording more recoveries and not more deaths.
According to reports, four more patients have been confirmed
clean and discharged from the Ebola Isolation center in Lagos after being
treated for the deadly disease. The four discharged include, two male doctors,
the nurse who escaped from the isolation center to Enugu and a female patient
who was on admission at the time Patrick Sawyer was hospitalized at the First
Consultant Hospital.
The Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu disclosed the
news in a statement released today by him and signed by his Special Assistant
on Media and Communication, Mr. Dan Nwomeh. Find the statement after the cut...
“The Minister of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu has announced
that four additional confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease who have been
managed successfully and are now disease free have been discharged home today.
They include two male medical doctors and one female nurse. The three
participated in the treatment of the index case while the fourth person was a
female patient at the time the index case was on admission. This brings to five
the total number of patients diagnosed with Ebola Virus Disease who have now
been discharged from hospital.”
The Health Minister on Saturday August 16th announced
the discharge of the first patient that was cured after treatment.
The total number of cases of the Ebola Virus Disease in
Nigeria remains at 12, the number of deaths from the disease, four, and the
number of people under surveillance in Lagos is 189 while in Enugu is 6.
Please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo
