Nigeria's Health Minister Confirms Ebola Patient Evacuated

Ali Pate, the coordinating minister of health and social welfare, announced that a patient diagnosed with Ebola has been evacuated from Abuja after showing significant clinical improvement. The patient, accompanied by her asymptomatic spouse, was reported to be stable, conscious, and able to communicate, with laboratory test results nearing baseline levels.

Despite this improvement, Pate emphasized that the patient may still be infectious, and strict public health protocols remain in effect. He commended the clinical personnel who treated the patient and the public health officials who coordinated the evacuation according to established measures.

Pate assured the public that efforts to contain the imported virus are ongoing and urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and seek information from credible sources. Further updates will be provided once the patient and her spouse reach their destination safely.
