Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh is not around to mark her 62nd birthday today, but Google has seized the initiative to celebrate the woman who saved the lives of millions of Nigerians by sacrificing her own.

Google Doodle today reminds the world of the heroic deed of the Nigerian physician who saved the nation from a major Ebola catastrophe on a day Nigerian Doctors were on strike.
NewsmakersNG is the first Newspaper to join Google today in the celebration of Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, who curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero, Patrick Sawyer who flew into the country, in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government.

She died on August 19, 2014, after Sawyer infected her with the virus.

She is known 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.

On August 4, 2014, it was confirmed that she had tested positive for Ebola virus disease and was being treated.
