Discharged Ebola patient is not Adadevoh

Contrary to reports on many blogs that the first Nigerian doctor to survive the Ebola virus is Dr. Stella Adadevoh, i am sorry to state that its not her.

In a statement released by the Federal ministry of health, Adadevoh has not yet been dicharged and is infact still sick and recieving treatment

Read the statement below:

It has been brought to the attention of the Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Onyebunchi Chukwu, that the first Nigerian to be diagnosed of Ebola Virus Disease, a female doctor who treated the index case and who was discharged home from the ward yesterday, is being reported in some sections of the media to be one Dr. Adadevoh.(continue)
The Honourable Minister whished to clarify that the name of the patient is not Dr. Adadevoh. This should be noted.
The minister's statement yesterday, while indicating that it was a female doctor, did not indicate the name of the patient.
