In July 2014, while Lagos bustled with its usual chaos in the sweltering heat, a storm was brewing unknown to its lively residents.
It wasnโt a storm of traffic jams or fuel scarcity; this was deadlier. A man had arrived in Lagos via air travel, sweating and feverish. He even collapsed at the airport but nobody suspected what he was carrying with him in his body.
His name? Patrick Sawyer.
His condition? Highly contagious.
His disease? Ebola.
The world had been watching Ebola ravage West Africa, but Nigeria had yet to record a single case. That was about to change.
But there was no protocol. No preparation. And in a city of over 21 million people, even one mistake could mean disaster.
But one doctor stood between Nigeria and an epidemic.
Dr. Stella Adadevoh.
Hereโs the story of how a Nigerian doctor stopped Ebola from spreading to potentially kill thousands but paid the ultimate price.
