There was panic in Victoria Island today
after a suspected Ebola patient was
found to be admitted at the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC
clinic on Muri Okunola.

The patient was said to have first been
admitted at First Consultant Medical
Centre around the same time Liberian
Patrick Sawyer was at the clinic. Men
suited in white safety clothing and an
ambulance were seen at the hospital
around one 1pm yesterday.

Though there's no definite confirmation
that the patient is infected with Ebola,
the Management of NNPC Clinic later
announced the indefinite shutdown of
the clinic..

The management said its a pre-emptive
step and also said they have reported
the issue to the Federal Ministry of
Health as well as officials of the Lagos
State Ministry of Health. More pics

Why them shutdown the clinic nau? Where are the victims gonna be treated?

Scared now

It's been confirmed. She had her baby at First Consultant Hospital before Sawyer was admitted but had to take her baby back because of a fever while sawyer was in chronic conditions.

She went to another hospital when the facility was shut down by the govt after saeyer's death. When she came to NNPC Clinic few days ago with 41 degrees fever, she lied about being anywhere near First Consultant Hospital after delivery until a nurse on routine visit saw her and confirmed that she was there while sawyer was there too.

This nursing mother had 3 other children and just like other patients discharged from First Consultant Hospital when it was shut, she's had interactions with several other patients and health officials without being checked or screened first, especially interactions with doctors and patients alike at NNPC Clinic.

This means the primary and secondary contacts of these people and also their primary and secondary contacts are potentially susceptible to this virus. And NNPC Clinic has closed down and sent all its patients and personnel away without testing/screening them first. I'm just resting on the hope that contacts were made while the virus wasn't yet contagious.

We need help, we need screening centers and laboratories where Nigerians can check their status.

We also need sensible directives from organizational heads to try screening potential carriers instead of sending them on their ways to further interact with the uninfected populace. We need help to halt the spread of this virus fast! Lord please help my motherland!!
