In response to the clarion call of the African Union (AU) to
support Sierra Leone in the fight against the Ebola virus disease, the
Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has assisted Sierra Leone with
100 Nigerian Medics including doctors, nurses, Laboratory Technicians and
Contact Tracers to help fight the Ebola disease in the country.
Receiving the Nigerian Medical Team at the Freetown
International Airport Lungi, on Friday December 5, 2014, the Deputy Minister of
Health and Sanitation I, Mr. Foday Sawi on behalf of the Ministry, government
and people of Sierra Leone, lauded the government of Nigeria for the invaluable
contribution to help Sierra Leone in the fight to contain the disease.
He said Nigeria has always been with Sierra Leone in
difficult times citing the role played during the eleven years civil war.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International
Cooperation, Mrs. Ebun Strasser-King described the intervention as timely, and
expressed thanks and appreciation to the AU under whose auspices they are here
to help fight the Ebola disease.
