From WHO - Nigeria is now Ebola free
How come Nigeria is now Ebola free? And in US, there was one death, and 3 cases of infection?
Nigeria is one of the most populous countries in Africa. It has some 21 million population and it equivalent to the population of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia combined.
It has also controlled the Nigeria worm disease; and it has 650,000 reported cases.
Nigeria was able to do this by:
1. Banning travel from Ebola infected areas;
2. Close monitoring of suspected Ebola cases;
3. Strong public health system,
4. Strict observance of protocol.
What happened? An LDC surpassing US in control of outbreak?
