The only confirmed case in Nigeria of Africa’s latest deadly Ebola outbreak was evacuated Monday by air from Abuja, the capital, to Switzerland, where she has citizenship.
The patient, the 42-year-old wife of a Swiss embassy staff worker based in Abuja, had been travelling in Uganda with her husband before returning to Nigeria.
Her condition was “much improved, stable, conscious, communicating, and her clinical laboratory test results closing towards baseline”, said Nigerian health minister Muhammad Ali Pate in a statement.
