A heroine and
patriot, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh was the doctor who identified and contained
the index Ebola patient in Nigeria in July 2014. She was the lead physician and
endocrinologist at a family clinic and had never seen Ebola before, but was
able to correctly diagnose Ebola and resist the pressure she received to
release the patient before the diagnosis was confirmed. However, because the
Nigerian health system was not prepared for an Ebola outbreak at the time, she
contracted Ebola and died. As a result of her keen perception, courage, and
steadfastness, all subsequent Ebola cases in Nigeria could be traced to a
single path of transmission originating with the index case. This is what
differentiated the outbreak in Nigeria from the ongoing, growing outbreaks in
Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Largely due to her efforts, Nigeria was
declared Ebola-free on 20 October 2014.
