About the Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust.

Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh was the doctor who identified and contained the index Ebola patient in Nigeria in July 2014. She was the lead physician and endocrinologist at a family clinic and had never seen Ebola before, but was able to correctly diagnose Ebola and resist the pressure she recived to release the patient before the  diagnosis was confirmed. However, because the Nigerian health system was not prepared for an Ebola outbreak at the time, she contracted Ebola and died.

As a result of her keen perception, courage, and steadfastness, all subsequent Ebola cases in Nigeria could be traced to a single path of teansimission originating with the index case. This is what differentiated the outbreak in Nigeria from the major outreaks in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Largely due to her efforts, Nigeria was declared Ebola-free on 20 October 2014.

Her family created the Trust to immortalize her name and continue her legacy of providing hig- quality healthcare in Nigeria.
