Ebola Survivor, Dr. Ada Igonoh, Welcomes Ebola-Free Baby in California
Dr. Ada Igonoh, the female doctor at the First Consultant Medical Centre (FCMC), Obalende, Lagos, who contracted the Ebola Virus while Liberian Patrick Sawyer was admitted at the hospital but amazingly survived has welcomed an Ebola-free baby girl in the US.
The baby was born on November 3, 2015, weighing nine pounds one ounce, at the Greater El-Monte Community Hospital in California.
According to the management of the FCMC, Igonoh was under medical surveillance during her pregnancy and delivery to ensure that her child was born free of the viral infection as the virus can stay in a victim’s semen or body system many months after contracting the disease.
Igonoh is the only female medical doctor to have survived the deadly disease after seven other officials in the hospital had primary contact with the index patient, Patrick Sawyer.
