Following the current panic in America over the reported outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease EVD, in Dallas, Texas, the United States government has sent medical experts to Nigeria to study how the country was able to quickly halt the spread of EVD.
This was made known on Tuesday in a statement issued by Tom Frieden, Director of United States’ Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a copy obtained by Vanguard.
He disclosed that the man who imported Ebola into US was discovered to have travelled to Liberia without informing the United States authorities and did not disclose the nature of his ailment to the nurse that attended to him, who is now also diagnosed Ebola.

He said it is clear the nation needs a quick and thorough response to its first Ebola patient, adding that although Nigeria was not completely out of the woods, its extensive response to a single case of Ebola shows that control is possible with rapid, focused interventions. |
