The Good heart hospital is where the Doctor ...Ikechukwu Sam Enemuo..was rushed to after he took ill with symptoms of Ebola. He treated a Diplomat who had contact with the Index Case in Lagos secretly in a Hotel. He was said to have operated on a woman on Monday presumably after treating the diplomat.
He fell ill next day Tuesday and died last Friday. ....
No one knew about this hotel angle which was a very big risk he took...and unethical thing to do..
He was ill for 3 days...then started vomiting blood with bloody diarrhoea.
He was rushed to Prime...where he was rejected and then taken to Good heart whose MD is a Cardiologist ..a consultant physician with UPTH. He died there.
Good heart is on EVO road in GRA ph2.
THE Doctor that died practices in East West Road Rumuokoro...Sam Steel clinic. The wife also a Doctor has a 3-month old baby.
As it is there may have been well over 200 contacts of this devilish diplomat who lured his young Doctor friend to treat him secretly and went back to Lagos.
It is said he has eventually submitted himself for Ebola check in a bid to get a clearance certificate to fly out.
He tested positive and is now quarantined in lagos.
It's quite a calamity unfolding in Ph. Unfortunately Ph health facilities are not quite ready to contain Ebola at the moment.
There are American experts and Federal and WHO health workers in town however training Drs and other healthworkers and helping out with contact tracing etc .
(My own take is what is with the foolishness of people who suspect they have Ebola not wanting to subject themselves to straight testing? Don't they know quick detection could save their lives?)
Father have mercy and save us from the spread of this Killer Virus! !!!!
