Dangerous viral disease: Ebola patient from Nigeria evacuated to Switzerland
A Swiss woman who was diagnosed as the first Ebola patient in Nigeria has been flown back to her home country. It is not clear where she will be treated.
Nigeria's first Ebola patient, a Swiss woman, has been flown out to Switzerland for treatment. The patient, who was born in Uganda, had been confirmed to have Ebola on October 20 and was in stable condition, according to Nigerian Health Minister Muhammad Ali Pate. The woman, who travelled to Nigeria from Uganda by plane, was accompanied by her husband, a Swiss diplomat, and left Abuja under strict protection.
Her condition has clinically improved, but she is still infectious. The exact location of her infection is still being investigated by the Africa CDC.
