FG reopens First Consultant Hospital where Patrick Sawyer died

The Federal Government has reopened First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos where Liberian Patrick Sawyer, the first case of Ebola in Nigeria, died from complications of the disease. 

In a letter sent to the Lagos state Ministry of Health, the Federal Government said after having undergone three rounds of state-certified decontamination processes according to world standard, the hospital is free to continue its business of administering health care to patients.

The hospital was closed over a month ago after Patrick Sawyer died there. Dr Adadevoh and nurse Ejelonu got infected in the hospital and also later died.
