So pathetic that Dr Adadevoh Ayemoh lost out. She became the latest
\ncasualty of the Patrick Sawyer’s Bio-terrorism. It was dispiriting to
\nlearn of the death of Dr Stella Ayemo.<\/p>\n
Late Ameyo contracted the disease in the course of exercising her duty
\non Mr. Sawyer. By her death, the Nigerian health sector nay government
\nhave failed to make up for their heinous mistake of exposing the medic
\nto the grave usurper that mowed her.<\/p>\n
They are to blame for not taking the necessary action in checking
\ninflights from Ebola hotspots. They are culpable in that on
\ndiscovering how feeble Sawyer was and knowing he had come from
\nLiberia, they failed, on taking him to the hospice, to alert the
\nmanagement of their susceptibility of the patient for Ebola.<\/p>\n
And when the deed was done, Nigeria again failed to do the needful- in
\nprevailing on the U.S. to send them the Zmapp even if it is one; at
\nleast to save this great fighter. They failed her; they failed us. I
\nweep for Ms Adadevoh! I cry for her sacrifice unappreciated. So
\npathetic.<\/p>\n
As the first health care provider who treated the Liberian-American
\nand raised public alarm over the plot by the Liberian officials to
\ncontrive the release of the patient for the planned calabar
\nconference; and thus, stalled the prospect of an outstretched
\ntransmission, she should have won the sympathy of the Americans, for
\nher outstanding resoluteness, to have made available for her the
\nexperimental Zmapp.<\/p>\n
The defeat of Stella by Mr. Ebola more so in the line of duty is bound
\nto reflect on the general commitments of health care givers. It’s
\ndefinitely would lead to exasperation amongst practitioners; a case of
\nwidespread distrust in the ability of government to come in for them
\nwhen hooked.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the sad death of this mother of one raises more
\nquestions. How will the death of Ms Stella be viewed amongst her
\ncolleagues? How will she be looked at, if not as a foolhardy, who
\nrisked life for a country that doesn’t care. Though that on itself my
\nsound so crude, but it is a consequence of the impression from the
\ngovernment; something not far from a reflection of the truth as would
\nbe obtained within such circle.<\/p>\n
Her death, instead of spurring her colleagues, will necessitate a
\ngagging feel of demoralization; from no fault of hers but by the
\npalpable lack of concern from the powers that ought to be concerned.<\/p>\n
Among the outside Nigerian community, it raises an issue over the
\nsense in evincing patriotism and commitment to the course of
\nfatherland. Who would actually want to die for a country that lacks
\nthe acumen to appreciate selfless service? Who would want to die
\n‘wastefully’?<\/p>\n
Late Adadevoh served Nigeria gallantly via her calling. If not for her
\ncircumspection, what we are talking now in terms of spread and
\ncontact-tracing would have been unbearably nasty.<\/p>\n
But in all these, how was she paid back? She was allowed to die not
\nwithout a shown effort by the state to get her a drop of the
\nlife-saving drug. When we consider the effort of Liberia, which took
\nadvantage of the reality of a drug, solicited for theirs and received
\npositive response from the United State government, we would wonder at
\nthe laxity of the so-called giant of Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
