In the midst of the grappling fear which has
seized West Africa and the rest of the world
over the dreaded Ebola virus, a 7-year old
Sierra Leonean boy has proven to be a glimmer
of hope after full recovering from a bout of the
deadly virus.
According to the UNICEF blog, 7-year old
Vandy Jawad was a patient at the Ebola ward
of Kenema Hospital in Sierra Leone for over a
month; having contracted the virus in Daru
village, 40 kilometres from Kenema town.
Nurses at the ward report that he was very sick
and they even feared that he wouldn’t make it
as many others had died.
However, a few weeks later he started to show
signs of recovery, regaining his strength till he
finally tested negative to the virus.
Little Vandy who nurses revealed provided
laughter and cheer in the Ebola ward at the
most unlikely times was presented with a
plastic toy truck on the day of his release from
the hospital which he happily showed off to the
nurses on his way out.
The UNICEF blog reports that Sierra Leone is
now recording the highest number of new cases
each week of all the West African countries
affected. Interestingly however, there is also an
increasing number of survivors – a total of 143
people out of the 500 who contracted it have
recovered so far.
Meanwhile back home in Nigeria, 4 people
have so far died from the Ebola virus while
there are 10 confirmed cases with 198 people
under watch – 177 in Lagos and 21 in Enugu.
