An ebola recoveree donate blood to save ebola patient.
A British nurse who recovered from Ebola has
travelled to the US to donate blood to try to save
the life of another victim of the virus.www.facebook.com
Will Pooley, 29, was discharged from the Royal
Free Hospital in north-west London two weeks ago
where he received treatment in a special isolation
unit.
Both Mr Pooley and the new victim, who has not
been named, are believed to have worked together
in Sierra Leone.
The Foreign Office said it had arranged a
replacement passport within 24 hours.
As a survivor of the disease, Mr Pooley could help
the victim recover by donating his blood which
will now contain natural antibodies that can help
protect against Ebola.
Mr Pooley is thought to have flown to Atlanta at
the weekend after the Foreign Office issued him
with an emergency passport.
His original passport was burned along with other
belongings as a precaution to stop the virus from
spreading.
All options
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said
in a statement: "Following a request from his
family, the FCO Consular Team and the UK
Passport Office worked together to get a
replacement passport to Will Pooley within 24
hours, this enabled him to fly out to the US
immediately and potentially assist with the
treatment of an Ebola victim."
Infectious diseases specialist Dr Aneesh Mehta,
one of five doctors working at a specialist unit in
Atlanta, said the team were looking at all treatment
options for the latest patient.
He said: "We believe the supportive care -
allowing the body to heal itself and supporting it
through that process - is the mainstay of therapy,
as is true for any infectious disease. If we have
therapeutic options, we'll evaluate those."
Ebola is transmitted through sweat, blood and
saliva.
The World Health Organisation says that more than
2,500 people have been killed by the latest
outbreak in west Africa, where the death rate
stands at 90% if it goes untreated.

Kumuyi speak on security challange and ebola in nigeria
Nigeria’ll overcome its security challenge -
Kumuyi
SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 BY FEMI MAKINDE, OSOGBO
7 Comments
Pastor William Kumuyi
The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life
Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said
Nigeria will overcome all its problems including
insecurity challenge posed to it by the Boko
Haram.
Kumuyi said this at a press conference he
addressed in Osogbo on Thursday night upon his
arrival for the crusade of the church which started
on Friday and to end on Monday morning.
The cleric said the problems facing Nigeria were
not peculiar ones, adding that with fervent prayers
all the problems would be solved by God and with
right attitude of the people of the country.
Kumuyi said, “Many nations have problems
similar to Nigeria’s but with prayers to God, all
the problems would be solved.
“The crusade we are holding is part of solution to
the problems of the nation. We are going to pray
for individuals and the nation. God is interested in
this country and all our problems will be solved.”
Kumuyi also advised Nigerians to vote wisely in
the 2015 general election, saying Nigerians should
vote for candidates they believe would take the
nation and their states to where they were
supposed to be.
He said, “I can’t say that kind of leader is A, B or
C but we should cast our votes intelligently. We
know what the country should be and we should
vote for a leader who would take us there.
“Obviously, you don’t expect me to say you
should vote for a particular party or anybody
because I am not a politician. But I pray God will
give us the wisdom to vote for the right persons
to take us there.”
The pastor, who was a mathematics lecturer at
the University of Lagos before starting the church
in 1973 appealed to Nigerians to repent from their
sins and turn to God who he said had solutions to
all problems confronting mankind. The overseer of
the DLBC in Osun State, Pastor John Adeniran,
had earlier said the military onslaught against the
Boko Haram sect could not end the crisis except
God intervenes to save Nigeria.
He said, “The government and security agents are
doing their best but except God brings solution to
the problem, all their efforts cannot win the war
against the insurgents.
“Government is labouring, but except God
intervenes there can’t be solution to the problem.
We need God to come and intervene in the affairs
of our nation. We will pray for God’s intervention
in Nigeria’s problems during this crusade and we
believe God will help us.”
Adeniran, who had worked as a pastor in Chibok,
Borno State where over 200 female students were
abducted about five months ago said believers
should intensify their prayers for the nation.
The cleric, who said the problem of terrorism was
not limited to Nigeria noted that the act was one
of the signs of the end time. He urged Christians
to be steadfast while calling on unbelievers to
repent from their sins and begin to live a godly
life.
Adeniran, while speaking on the challenge which
Ebola posed to Nigeria said the devil was at the
root of the disease.
He said, “Challenges have always been in this
world. There are challenges in every generation
and there will always be challenges till the end of
every generation. Great events that made history
passed through very tough challenges. So, what
we are experiencing today should not be strange
to us.”
He urged anybody with Ebola symptoms to visit
hospitals where they could be tested and treated.www.facebook.com

FG moves to prevent ebola,as school resume
FG moves to prevent Ebola in schools
SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 BY NAN
Leave a Comment
The Federal Ministry of Health on Friday said it
had taken adequate steps in collaborating with
other stakeholders to ensure safety in schools
ahead of the Sept. 22 resumption date.
Mr Dan Nwomeh, Special Assistant on Media and
Communications to the Health Minister, made this
known in a text message to the News Agency of
Nigeria in Abuja.
He said the Ministry of Education was responsible
for the reopening of schools but the Ministry of
Health provided advice to the education
authorities to ensure safety in schools.
Nwomeh added that the ministry had provided the
same support to all relevant bodies, groups and
agencies of government in tackling any possible
spread of the Ebola Virus Disease.
“The Federal Ministry of Health has done its job
by providing expertise advice to the Federal
Ministry of Education just the same way it does to
those holding rallies and mass gatherings as the
NBA conference.
“The Federal and State Ministries of Education and
owners of private schools are supposed to act on
our recommendations by making the necessary
arrangements for the reopening of schools,” the
text read.
In a related development, investigation by NAN
revealed that some schools in the Federal Capital
Territory were making arrangements ahead of their
resumption on Sept. 22.
In some of the schools visited by NAN their
administrators said in separate interviews that
preventive measures were being adopted in
compliance with the directive by the federal
government.
Mrs Grace Enoyi, the Principal of Madonna Model
School, a privately owned primary and secondary
school in Garki Area 3, Abuja, said the school
would put in place preventive measures against
Ebola.
Enoyi said, “The school is doing its best to put
preventive measures in place against the EVD as
well as sensitise both students and their parents
about the deadly virus.
“We have Infrared thermometers, buckets with
water and disinfectants, soaps; one each in every
classroom and another with a teacher.
“Students are checked for temperatures before
entering the school, those with temperatures
above 38 degrees are not allowed to come in,
parents are advised to seek medical help for
children with fever.punch

WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to unveil
today an expanded U.S. response to the Ebola
outbreak in West Africa, the worst outbreak of the
disease in history.
Obama, who has called the outbreak a national
security priority, will outline new steps to address
the crisis during a visit to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Ebola Outbreak Death Toll Swells as Americans
Undergo Treatment
Ebola Survivor Nancy Writebol Recalls Dark Days
With Deadly Disease
Ebola Toll May 'Vastly Underestimate' Crisis
According to senior administration officials, the
ramped up military effort centers on command and
control, logistics, training and engineering support.
With the new measures the United States is
significantly ramping up its response, and the next
steps will focus on command and control,
logistics, training and engineering support.
They include:
Creating a joint force command headquarters in
Monrovia, Liberia . By end of the week, the U.S.
will have general officer in place to lead the
effort, known as "Operation United Assistance."
Providing engineers to build treatment units.
Up to 17 separate facilities with 100 beds
each.
Training support for health care workers, up to
500 health care workers per week, for as long
as needed (although budgeting plans for a six-
month period). Training will come from U.S.
military medical personnel. The administration
hopes to have force on the ground in a couple
of weeks. After this scaling up is done, the
expectation is for there to be up to 3,000
Defense Department personnel on the ground
in support of the joint force command.
Working to boost a messaging campaign to
train households on how to protect themselves
and help family members that may present
symptoms. To pay for the mission, the
administration is asking for $88 million be
added to the CR; $175 million has already
been dedicated. The Defense Department has
requested the reprogramming of $500 million
in unobligated funds to be put towards the
Ebola response.
As of Sept. 7, there were 4,366 probable,
confirmed and suspected cases in the current
Ebola outbreak in West Africa, with 2,218
deaths, according to the World Health
Organization . The countries affected are Guinea,
Liberia, Nigeria , Senegal and Sierra Leone .
