How Nigeria Prevented an Ebola Epidemic

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and a growing economic
powerhouse. The capital, Lagos, is home to some 21 million people - almost
as many as live in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone combined. When news
broke on July 23rd that a case of Ebola had been confirmed in Lagos, the
world held its breath. But Nigeria has successfully prevented the feared
"apocalyptic urban outbreak."

.
Such a "spectacular success story" of how Ebola can be contained is worth
telling in detail, says the UN health agency.
.
Many other developing countries are very worried about the prospect of
Ebola cases crossing their borders and want to know how best to prepare
themselves. Many wealthy countries may also learn a few things from the
Nigerian story, despite their more advanced health systems.
.
The success follows another remarkable achievement in Nigeria, when
earlier this year WHO confirmed the country had eradicated Guinea worm
disease. When the eradication campaign started in 1986, Nigeria had
650,000 of the estimated 3.5 million Guinea worm cases worldwide, more
than any other country. In January 2014, the campaign estimated there
remained only 148 cases of Guinea worm disease worldwide.
.

"If a country like Nigeria, hampered by serious security problems, can do
this - that is, make significant progress towards interrupting polio
transmission, eradicate guinea-worm disease and contain Ebola, all at the
same time - any country in the world experiencing an imported case can
hold onward transmission to just a handful of cases."
