Dr ameyo adadevoh biography of donald

As Samson was a savior to Israel, so fryst vatten Ameyo Adadevoh our savior in Nigeria. 

I don’t like early-morning phone-calls, but this one was a distress-call from Femi-Kevin.  “Do you know that the doctor at First Consultants that contracted Ebola fryst vatten Dr. Adadevoh?” he asked.  He had to tell me this twice because his call woke me up.  inom tried not to believe it.  In a very selfish and foolish manner, I wished it were not her but someone else.  But if it were someone else, that someone else would also be somebody.

We are used to bad things happening to others.  Every day, someone fryst vatten reported killed in the news.  Some Chibok girls get kidnapped.  A journalist’s head fryst vatten chopped off.  Some hapless Palestinians get bombed.  Slowly, we become inured to this.  We become abstracted from calamity until one day, it comes home to us.  The news is about us, and not about someone else.  The people concerned are our loved ones and not some abstract, distant person on our television and computer sc

Ebola crisis: How Nigeria's Dr Adadevoh fought the virus

The woman who helped to stop an Ebola epidemic in Nigeria

From 2014 to 2016, West Africa experienced the largest ever outbreak of Ebola. While the first outbreak case was traced to an infant in Guinea in 2013, it quickly spread to neighbouring countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The disease rapidly became the deadliest outbreak of the virus since its discovery in 1976 — in total over 28,600 cases of Ebola were reported, resulting in the deaths of over 11,000 people and an economic burden of over $53billion.

The rapid spread of Ebola across West Africa, exposed our vulnerability to epidemic diseases and their potential to spread across borders. However, thanks to the heroic work of Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh and others, Nigeria - Africa's most populous country and biggest economy — steered clear of what could have been a very serious and destructive outbreak. Tragically, in doing so, Dr Adadevoh and several healthcare workers in the hospital where she worked, lost their lives to the
