A group, the Nigerian Healthcare Excellence
Awards, is set to honour the late Dr. Stella Ameyo
Adadevoh and other health care workers who
contributed significantly to the containment of the
Ebola outbreak in the country.
The ceremony, the organisers said, would hold in
Lagos this month.
Adadevoh led the medical team that handled the
index case of Ebola in Nigeria at the First
Consultants Hospital, Obalende, Lagos, in 2014.
The Chief Executive Officer, Global Health Project
and Resources, and Programme Director of NHEA,
Dr. Wale Alabi, in a statement, on Monday, said
the honourees saved the country from a national
crisis.
Alabi said, “Adadevoh and her colleagues deserve
to be celebrated for their noble role. The late
doctor’s courage saved the lives of so many
people. Other health workers also ensured that
the outbreak was contained. Subsequently, some
paid with their lives. Their dedication and sacrifice
for the greater good of the nation is inspirational
and deserves recognition.”
According to Alabi, the event would also feature
the recognition of the Best Health Facility of the
year in various fields of medicine, IVF Service
Provider of the Year and the Dialysis Service
Provider of the Year among others.
The Principal Partner of Anadach Group and co-
organisers of NHEA, Dr. Egbe Osifo-Dawodu,
noted that the award would promote excellence
and drive competition for better health care
delivery in the country.
Osifo-Dawodu said, “Our aim is to ensure that we
do not overlook certain stakeholders whose
specialised services and support in the Nigerian
healthcare service delivery are critical and
valuable.”
The organisers, he added, nominated over 80
organisations and individuals for recognition on the
occasion.
St. Ives Hospitals, Avon, May & Baker, Dangote
Foundation, Federal Medical Centre, Gombe are
some of the institutions due for recognition at the
event.

This woman is the reason why Nigeria were able to contain ebola. She did only what Jesus Christ was able to do for the whole world.

What this woman did is beyond patroticsm. She did what will remain top in annals of world history.

It only pains me that in this country where we all are trapped, they do not study history in secondary schools. How will the future generation know what this woman has done for mankind?

Jesus Christ gave HIS life a ramson for the whole world. He shew the world the power of His love when he paid for the sins of humans with his own life. Jesus is being celebrated today because someone was able to keep it on record for future mention.
