Medical experts from the United States are due in Nigeria
anytime soon to study how the country was able to manage and contain the spread
of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease, EVD.
Recall that Ebola was brought into the country by a Liberian called
Patrick Sawyer on July 20. Sawyer, who later died a couple of days after, had
already infected some medical personnel in the hospital where he was being
treated with the virus.
According to the United States Centre for Disease Control,
CDC, “Nigeria’s first reported case of Ebola surfaced July 20, when Patrick
Sawyer landed in Lagos from Liberia and exposed 72 other passengers to the
virus. Nigeria’s Health officials quickly issued notifications and tracked
everybody who may have been in contact with Sawyer.
