Ebola Survivors Meet With Fashola, Tell Their Stories
Five Nigerian Ebola survivors met Lagos State governor
Babatunde Fashola on September 18, 2014, and told their stories,
revealing some seriously unpleasant facts.
Three of the governor’s guests were health workers of First Consultant Hospital, they got infected after contacting Nigeria’s index case Patrick Sawyer, who “imported” the virus into the country from Liberia in the end of July.
Luckily, there is currently no active case of Ebola infection in Nigeria, however the epidemic continues ravaging the West African region. The number of deaths from this year’s outbreak has almost reached the terrifying figure of 2,500. The number of new infection cases expected to rise, in worst-case scenario, to 20,000 by the end of this year.
