A doctor, who secretly treated a diplomat
who had contact with the index case,
Liberian-American Patrick Sawyer, has died of
Ebola in Nigeria.
The doctor, who has yet to be named, died on
Friday. His wife has also taken ill and has
been quarantined in Port Harcourt.
Interestingly, the diplomat the doctor treated is
still alive

The diplomat, who was part of the team who
met with Patrick Sawyer in Lagos, flew to Port
Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, evading
Nigerian federal government surveillance for
the disease. The late doctor then took him to a
hotel for treatment.

As a result of this, 70 people have been
quarantined. The doctor's hospital, Good
Heart Hospital in Rivers State, has been shut
down. The unnamed hotel, where the secret
treatment took place, has also been shut
down.
