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

janjaweed private hosp..:lol....wahala for dey o.i

However, the result of the test she did released by
WHO from their Dakar Senegal Laboratory

hospital Yaba Lagos alongside 40 others.
