Dr Ada Igonoh, the only female doctor to have survived Nigeria's Ebola epidemic has given birth to a baby girl.
First Consultant
Medical Centre announced the baby girl weighing just a little over four
kilos was born at the Greater El-Monte Community Hospital, California. Igonoh was a
resident staff at First Consultant, whose staff became infected after
being exposed to Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian American who collapsed on
arrival at Lagos airport. Igonoh has been
under surveillance since she conceived to ensure her child is free of
the virus, which killed a total of eight people in Nigeria, including
Sawyer, at its height.
Doctors certified the baby girl Ebola free. A statement from
the World Health Organisation said staff and friends of First Consultant
Medical Centre "are jubilant in celebration as they welcome a new lease
of life to the institution and in memory of fallen colleagues and
Survivors of Ebola."
The World Health
Organization, in concert with the Centre for Disease Control, formally
declared Nigeria Ebola-Free on October 20, 2014.

Awesome God. May God bless the Baby and her family, amen.
