Nigeria remains one of the best practice countries with regards to how Ebola can be contained and stopped from exploding into the community. And most of that work boils down to the work of these doctors and nurses of First Consultant Hospital Lagos.
They were caught unprepared, but their quick initiative meant that Patrick Sawyer did not get back into the population of Lagos or Calabar to spread further infection. Among the four that died are Dr. Ameyo Adedevoh and Nurse Justina Ejelonu, and among the ones that survived are Dr. Ada.
WHO shared the picture on the FB page as a way to celebrate Nigeria becoming Ebola Free. See more pictures below of those who worked to stop the deadly virus.
