SO HAPPY!!: Experts Have Discovered The Drug For Ebola

Health workers have hailed reported success of the
experimental drug, ZMapp, on Ebola infected
American doctor, Dr Kent Brantly and American
Missionary Health worker, Ms. Nancy Writebol.
Within an hour of receiving ZMapp, the Ebola-
infected Dr. Brantly’s condition dramatically
improved. He was said to have began breathing
easier; the rash over his trunk faded away. One of
his doctors described the events that followed after
he was given the drug as “miraculous.”
The female health worker, Ms. Writebol, also
received a vial of the medication. Although her
response was not as remarkable at first, doctors
administered a second dose of the drug on her
again on Sunday, and this time it resulted in
significant improvement...
A medical doctor, Dr Osahon Enabulele, noted that
with over 1,600 persons in the West African sub-
region so far infected with the Ebola virus and a
death toll of over 887 (as at August 1, 2014), it is
heart-warming that some experimental drugs for
treatment of Ebola viral disease such as ZMapp and
BCX4430 have shown great potential.
He said that the case of the dramatic clinical
improvement shown by Dr. Brantly following
administration of an experimental drug
strengthens the hope of finding an effective drug
for the treatment of Ebola virus.
Also in his remarks, the national president,
Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of
Nigeria (AMLSN), Dr Godswill Okara, described the
Zmapp drug it as a welcome development.
He said the good result recorded from the use of
the drugs on the two Americans is good and
encouraging.
According to him, it’s naturally expedient to use the
drugs considering the magnanimity of the problem
at hand, adding that it was normal at this instance
to err on the side of caution.
