THE Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has announced that the first Nigeria carrier of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) has fully recovered.
Revealing this at a press briefing at the Yaba Psychiatric Hospital, Lagos, on Saturday, Professor Chukwu confirmed that the statistics of currently confirmed cases of the virus in Nigeria had risen to 12.
The minister said the first Nigerian EVD carrier, the female doctor (Dr Ameyo Adadevoh) who attended to Mr Patrick Sawyer, had been freed from the deadly disease.
He added that, “the patients under treatment have now been moved to the new 40-bed capacity isolation ward provided by the Lagos State Government and, at present, five of the confirmed cases of EVD have almost fully recovered.”
Chukwu also disclosed that the experimental drug, Nano Silver, was rejected by the Federal Government because it did not meet the specification of National Health Research Ethic Code.
