@ChuksEricE The woman is to sign the C/S consent form as long as she's fit regardless of who is paying for it (because i know in this part of the world finances can play a role in the woman's decision).
More health care workers need to know this.
@objective_cfc Totally agree

In 2014, West Africa was facing the worst Ebola outbreak in history. The deadly virus had ravaged countries like Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone—but had not yet reached Nigeria.
That changed when Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American diplomat, arrived at an airport in Lagos, Nigeria on July 20, 2014. Shortly after landing, he suddenly collapsed at the airport and was rushed to First Consultant Hospital, where Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, an endocrinologist and the lead physician in charge of the clinic, received him.
Sawyer presented with fever and other nonspecific symptoms, so he was initially suspected to have malaria. However, what no one knew at the time was that Sawyer had just returned from Liberia after attending his sister’s funeral—she had died of Ebola.
When Sawyer failed to respond to malaria treatment and his condition worsened, Dr. Adadevoh began to suspect Ebola, despite there being no confirmed case yet in Nigeria.
When the Liberian embassy reportedly pressured the hospital to discharge Sawyer so he could attend a conference, Dr. Adadevoh refused. Fully aware of the risks and the potential for a national catastrophe, she placed him under strict quarantine, defying diplomatic pressure. Her decisive action prevented Sawyer from leaving the hospital and unknowingly spreading the virus to hundreds, possibly thousands, of people in Lagos—a city of over 20 million.
Because of her courage and quick thinking, Ebola’s spread in Nigeria was limited to just 19 confirmed cases and 8 deaths, all traced back to Sawyer. Tragically, Dr. Adadevoh herself contracted the virus while caring for him and died on August 19, 2014.
Today, Dr. Stella Adadevoh is remembered as a national hero whose bravery, medical judgment, and moral courage saved Nigeria—and potentially all of West Africa—from a devastating epidemic. Her story is taught in medical schools as a shining example of ethical leadership and the power of one doctor’s decision to protect public health above all else.
