Nigeria successfully contains Ebola, has only one case left - Health Minister

Minister of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu said today that Nigeria has been able to reduce the number of Ebola cases to just one.

At a press briefing held today August 26th in Abuja, Prof. Onyebuchi said only one patient out of the 13 confirmed cases in Nigeria is still at the Isolation center. He said five of those infected died while seven have successfully recovered and have been discharged. He also said two of the nurses who attended to Patrick Sawyer at the First Consultant hospital were discharged yesterday.

Find the minister's statement after the cut...


"Of these thirteen, five, including the index case unfortunately did not survive the disease and are now late. However, seven of the infected persons were successfully managed at the Isolation ward in Lagos and have been discharged home.
"Two of treated patients, a male doctor and a female nurse were discharged yesterday evening, 25th August, 2014 having satisfied the criteria for discharge.
"I wish to reassure Nigerians and indeed the global community that the Government shall remain vigilant and will not relent as Government continues to work with her partners to ensure that the disease is kept out of the country. Thank you.”
More than 1200 persons have died from Ebola since the current outbreak in West Africa with Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone accounting for over 90 percent of the victims.

These people are trying to make way for next year elections plus other economic benefits in the international eyes. This is a big lie! If first consultant hospital didn't announce the ebola case in the first place,the government would have shut down any ebola claims! Only God will help us in this country. How did they get well? Which drug did they use to treat them?

We can't be so Sure until 21 days after the only case is treated... What happened to the saying "count not your eggs until they are hatched? " Nigerians deserve to be informed but not to impress,rather to reassure the people. Maku impressed us saying that we had vaccines ready to combat Ebola... as devil would have it,our medical doctors went on strike during the period to show ho "prepared ".our health system is.....

Nigerian Forum said...

Are you sure of this? Its better to err on the path of caution. Dont let Nigeria sit on a bowl of gun powder. Behavioral modification must continue till Africa as a whole is given a clean bill of health.

Mind you, we knew only Sawyer. What of other possible entries? Then, FYI, Congo have detected Ebola too.

Like I said, behavioral modification and hygiene MUST CONTINUE!!!

Thank God the government are getting it right this time around. But wait oh Wat is isha sesay doing in US is she not suppose to be in Sierra Leone berating her country leadership for allowing Ebola threatening the whole of West Africa the way he was embarrassing our leadership during the chibok girls issue. So she cannot run her mouth again now cos her country is involved or even say Nigerian leadership has tried on this now. Please she should never enter nijja again if we don't see her reporting from her country now

Anonymous said...

Please note that not everyone does from Ebola if treated early it all depends on the immunity of the person. What they do is treat the symptoms with the hope that they recover . Some do recover without the use of zmapp.

Well, I don't intend to be pessimistic about this issue, but I really hope it's the truth because lately we've been hearing contradicting stories. Be that as it may the government put in very commendable effort in containing this disease. Somehow I'm happy it was just in Lagos, if it happened to be in a northern state, #DontWantToThinkAboutIt.
