Awww! Our own Justina Ejelonu Test Postive For Ebola Virus
The Ebonyi State University Abakaliki graduate wrote about her experience early this week attending to the Liberian Ebola Patient that died in her Hospital.
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
