Ebola: Nurse Justina Ejelonu Test Postive For Ebola Virus . - WHO

Nurse Justina Obi Ejelonu, has been confirmed by World Health Organization (WHO) officials to have contracted  the Ebola Virus. She is one of the Nurses that attended to the Liberian Ebola patient, Mr Sawyerr at First Consultant Hospital Obalande Lagos where she is a staff 

The Ebonyi State University Abakaliki graduate wrote about her experience early this week attending to the Liberian Ebola Patient that died in her Hospital.

But before then, She was previously working at Otunba tunwase national pediatric center Ijebu Ode in Ogun state 

Earlier this year, she relocated to Lagos to work at First Consultant Hospital Obalande and unfortunately,the late Sawyer was brought to her hospital for treatment 

 As friends and colleagues ponder over her fate in the light of the Virus Outbreak In Nigeria, she posted the following at Igboville(An Online Igbo Group)  last week and this is what she said 


"I never contacted his fluids.i checked his Vitals,helped him with his food.(he was too weak).....i basically touched where his hands touched and dats d only contact.not directly wt his fluids.@a stage,he yanked off his infusion and we had blood everywhere on his bed.....but d ward maids took care of that and changed his linens with great precaution.everypatient is treated as high risk .....if it were airborne,by now wahala for dey.i still thank God."

"Friends,upto our uniforms n all linens were burnt off.we r on surveillance n off work till 11th.
Our samples v long bn taken by WHO n so far we v been fine.
For me,kudos to my hospital managt cos we work proffessionally wt every patient considered risk cos thats d training.had it been its a hospital where they manage ordinar gloves lik Govt hospital n some janjaweed private hosp..:lol....wahala for dey o.i must also thank Lagos Govt....infact!Even fed govt sef....all been supportive.im good n so r the others in d hosp....."

However, the result of the test she did released by WHO from their Dakar Senegal Laboratory confirmed  that she contracted the dreaded disease from Late Sawyer 

 She is currently being quarantined at Mainland hospital Yaba Lagos alongside  40 others. 

We hope  the best for her and pray  that she  comes  out stronger and better from the Ebola  travail
