Ebola: Is Nigeria ready?
Nigeria has confirmed one imported case of Ebola in Abuja involving a woman who arrived from Uganda and was treated in a private hospital before diagnosis. Health authorities have isolated the patient, identified 44 contacts for tracing, activated a multi-agency response, and urged vigilance while recalling the successful 2014 containment after an imported case caused 20 infections and 8 deaths.
