Ebola Kills 3 Medical Doctors In Sierra Leon, Last One To Be Flown Abroad by kelechiodo(m): 2:34pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
[b] FREETOWN, Sierra Leone -- Another doctor from Sierra Leone who has tested positive for Ebola will be evacuated for medical treatment, an official said Thursday, making her the first citizen of a hard-hit country to be treated abroad. Dr. Olivette Buck is the fourth Sierra Leonean doctor to contract the disease -- and the three others all have died. Arrangements are being made to send her to another country for better treatment, said Health Ministry spokesman Sidie Yahya Tunis without specifying further. So far, only foreign health and aid workers have been evacuated abroad for treatment from Sierra Leone and Liberia. The worst Ebola outbreak in history also has hit Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal, and has been blamed for more than 2,200 deaths across West Africa. The disease is taking a particularly heavy toll on health care workers, whose jobs put them at high risk because Ebola is only transmitted through contact with the bodily fluids of people showing symptoms or dead bodies. More than 135 health workers have died in the outbreak so far, exacerbating shortages of doctors and nurses in countries that already had too few medical workers to begin with.[/b] Source:www.ctvnews.ca/health/sierra-leone-evacuating-another-doctor-infected-with-ebola-1.2002160#ixzz3D6lOdIZz I saw this news and marvel at what Nigeria medical practitioners use in treating Ebola victims so successfully. What is the magic? Other African doctors dying and being flown abroad while Nigeria victims are being discharged from hospital. What ever the case may be. I thank God for Nigeria and sincerely hope that nothing is amiss somewhere. 1 Like 1 Share |
