Coordinating minister of health and social welfare Prof. Muhammad Pate says Nigeria’s index ebola patient is showing encouraging signs of recovery, with laboratory results indicating significant improvement.
The minister says the patient, a woman who recently arrived in Nigeria from Uganda, was asymptomatic on arrival but developed symptoms days later.
She was admitted into a private health facility in Abuja, where she received medical attention before laboratory tests confirmed the Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease.
According to the minister, the latest laboratory results suggest the patient’s condition is improving, and could fully recover soon.
