The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced that Nigeria currently has no Ebola cases after a patient was evacuated to Switzerland. Dr. Mohamed Janabi, the WHO Regional Director for Africa, disclosed this on his official X account. The patient, along with her husband, a Swiss citizen, were medically evacuated earlier on Monday.
Janabi reported that the patient was clinically stable following successful treatment by Nigerian medical teams who managed her through the acute phase of the illness. Dr. Janabi praised Nigeria's Federal Government, health workers, clinicians, emergency responders, and other partners for their diligent response to the Ebola outbreak, highlighting the country's expertise and leadership in public health.
He emphasized that while the evacuation marks a significant achievement, vigilance must remain as Nigeria continues to monitor 52 contacts, while Switzerland takes responsibility for the patient and her husband's follow-up care.
