Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh (1956-2014), a physician at First Consultant Hospital, played a pivotal role in preventing the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus by making the crucial decision to quarantine the index case. Her courageous stand set in motion Nigeria’s successful containment of the Ebola virus epidemic in Nigeria.
In 2014, Nigeria faced a potential national health crisis, the Ebola outbreak. Dr. Stella Adadevoh, a physician at First Consultants Hospital, made the bold decision to contain the country’s first case. Her courage, swift judgment, and sense of duty prevented a wider outbreak and protected millions
Dr. Adadevoh gave her life to protect ours. Her sacrifice became a symbol of integrity, service, and humanity.
Today, through the work of the DRASA Foundation, her legacy lives on — educating, training, and protecting future generations.
