Nigeria has received Nanosilver, an experimental treatment protocol recommended by an unnamed Nigerian scientist in the diaspora to treat the Ebola virus, the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, has said.
“The only experimental drug we have now is Nanosilver, provided by a Nigerian scientist; details of the drug will be disclosed later to the media.
“However, we have 11 confirmed cases of Ebola in Nigeria, out of these, three are dead, Patrick Sawyer, a Nigeria nurse and ECOWAS protocol officer. Apart from Lagos, there is no Ebola case in any states of the federation."
Chukwu said the suspected cases that were reported in Abia, Anambra, and Abuja were investigated and proved negative.
“Nobody in Enugu has Ebola disease, all cases are still confined within Lagos."
He added that Cross River was also free of the disease, adding that the nurse who was under surveillance in Lagos that travelled to Enugu was back to Lagos with members of her family for close monitoring.
Thanks for reaching out, Dr. Rima, I have sent you an email. God bless for working with the Nigerian Government.
