ONE year after Nigeria was declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organization (WHO), the country yesterday rolled out the drums to celebrate what could have turned out a national disaster.
Also yesterday, the Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust (DRASA) was officially launched in Lagos at a colourful event attended by the creme-de-la-creme of the corporate world and the health sector.
The health trust in honour of late Dr. Adadevoh, aims to support the Nigerian healthcare system in the area of education and training; influence patient-friendly policies; promote local researches and enhance disease control efforts in the country.
The traffic gridlock inwards to Victoria Island notwithstanding, the turn out was significant, which reflects the lasting impression the deceased left on their minds.
It would be recalled that late Adadavoh was the lead physician and endocrinologist at First Consultants Medical Centre, who died in the wake of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in 2014.
She is fondly remembered for her landmark role in correctly diagnosing Ebola, containing and resisting pressure to release Nigeria’s index Ebola patient in July 2014.
