Ameyo Adadevoh (born Ameyo Stella Shade Adadevoh; 27 October 1956 – 19 August 2014) was a Nigerian physician.

Her great-grandfather, Herbert Macaulay,is one of the most celebrated founders of modern Nigeria. Her grandfather was from the illustrious Adadevoh family of the Volta Region of Ghana, to which she was very much connected, though she lived in Lagos. Her father was also a physician and former Vice chancellor of the University of Lagos.

She is credited with having curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian Government.On 4 August 2014, it was confirmed that she tested positive for Ebola virus disease and was being treated.

Adadevoh died in the afternoon of 19 August 2014. She was posthumously praised for preventing the Nigerian index case from leaving the hospital at the time of diagnosis, thereby playing a key role in curbing the spread of the virus in Nigeria.

Tribute to Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh:
Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, a consultant physician, First Consultants Medical Centre, a Lagos-based hospital, died of Ebola disease Tuesday, August 19. Despite denials, she had summoned courage to carry out blood analysis that revealed the virus from Patrick Sawyer who imported the Ebola virus into Nigeria from Liberia.




TRIBUTE IN HONOUR OF DR. AMEYO STELLA ADADEVOH:

BY MEDICAL WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (MWAN)

MWAN joins the global community to commiserate with all who have lost family members and friends to the ongoing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak. The toll on the healthcare workers in the affected countries has been quite high with Nigeria recently not being spared. MWAN has been hit with the death of one of our own, Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, a brilliant Consultant Endocrinologist, who died in active service to Nigeria, and in doing so greatly spared the nation from the widespread rampage that our sister West African countries are suffering from in this EVD outbreak.

The late Dr. Adadevoh was the first child of the late world renowned Pathologist. Prof. Kwakwu Adadevoh, who was also a past Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Nigeria. She is also the niece of the owners of Clina Lancet Laboratory and the Great-Granddaughter of our hero past, Sir Herbert Macaulay. On her own merit, Dr. Adadevoh was a Consultant Endocrinologist per excellence, a quiet and diligent Clinician, beautiful lady and loving mother to one son.

We and all who now mourn the passing on of Dr. Ameyo should be comforted that she died a hero. She was the Doctor who entertained a high index of suspicion that Patient Zero was suffering from EVD and thus refused to let him leave the First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos, when he and others pressured her for his discharge against medical advice. She promptly reported the case to the relevant Public Health authorities at State and Federal levels and thus saved many lives by doing this. Though her death is so heartbreaking, we join her family and well-wishers to pray that her gentle soul rests in peace now.

We also call on the Medical and Dental Consultants of Nigeria (MDCAN), Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Federal Government and her State of origin to immortalise the contribution of this Amazon to the public health protection of our country.

“…the labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain!”……
