Abuja - United Nations World Health Organisation
(WHO) hailed the country’s containment of the Ebola
virus as a “success story” worth emulating by other
countries.
“This is a spectacular success story that shows that
Ebola can be contained. The story of how Nigeria
ended what many believed to be potentially the most
explosive Ebola outbreak imaginable is worth telling in
detail. Such a story can help the many other
developing countries that are deeply worried by the
prospect of an imported Ebola case and eager to
improve their preparedness plans. Many wealthy
countries, with outstanding health systems, may have
something to learn as well,” the agency stated on
Monday.
It came on the heels of the UN health agency declared
Nigeria Ebola-free.
