Just confirmed from a family source. Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, the Senior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist who was one of many doctors who attended to Patrick Sawyer at First Consultant Hospital has died from the Ebola virus which she contracted from Sawyer.
Dr. Ameyo died this afternoon Tuesday August 19th at the isolation unit of the Mainland Hospital in Lagos where she'd been quarantined. She died a hero because she was the physician who refused to let Patrick Sawyer, the person who brought the Ebola virus to Nigeria, leave the First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos, when he tried with leave. She saved many lives by doing this. Her death is really heartbreaking.
