Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has sent his
condolences to the family of the medical doctor who lost her life
to Ebola after attending to late Liberian-American, Patrick
Sawyer, the first victim of the outbreak.
The doctor has died in Lagos. The minister of health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, confirmed the death of the nurse on Wednesday. “My condolences to the family of the medical staff who lost her
life attending to the first Ebola patient. I also praise the bravery
of medical people responding and treating the Ebola cases. They
are sacrificing to keep us all safe,” he said.
Abubakar urged the federal and state ministries of health to work
together and educate the general public on the prevention of the
virus.
He called for a concerted effort to stop the spread of the virus. “We must all do our part to stop the spread of the virus. Regular
hand washing and improved hygiene are advised, to prevent
infection. The federal and state ministries of health must work
together to educate the general public. Information is our best
defense,” he said.
