Pregnant Woman Tests Positive For Ebola In Obalende, Lagos by ideee03(f): 8:13am On Aug 12, 2014
A pregnant woman who went for her usual check up at the First Consultant Hospital Obalande – same hospital that Patrick Sawyer was admitted – tested positive of the virus on Friday. She got infected after being treated by the same nurse, Obi Justina Ejelonu, who attended to the Liberian carrier, Patrick Sawyer.

Recall that two nurses came in direct contact with Mr. Sawyer and one of them died last week – the other nurse, Justina is still alive. The pregnant woman has since been quarantined at the mainland hospital where there is an isolation emergency centre for Ebola virus victims.

The nurse probably did not know she was infected.Even at that after the Sawyer incident they should have tested and quarantined all those that came in contact with the man.

Sometimes I am forced to believe Nigerian docttors do not have access to internet and also, they do not read health stuff after they leave school.
Haba, so after Mr sawyer died, they did not realize that this is a seriouse problem judging by how ebola spreads? Doctor fell sick still they did not try to contact those he came in contact with before he ahowed symptom, nurse fell sick they still dis not do anything and I am sure even now, they have not gone back to their register to find all the people the doctor and nurses attended before they showed syptoms.
That hospital after Mr sawyers death should have been evacuated and all patients kept on observation list.
Besides, dont they have more qualified doctors who are in charge of health in the nation some equivalent of the american CDC who know their job?
Na wa for naija o. Na everything person must use hand hold them and direct them to where dem suppose face like p€ni$ wey get some dysfunction.
