PersonDr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh (1956-2014) was a Nigerian physician whose courageous actions prevented a catastrophic Ebola outbreak in Nigeria. In July 2014, when a Liberian-American diplomat arrived in Lagos with Ebola, Dr. Adadevoh diagnosed the disease despite pressure to release the patient. She refused and insisted on isolation protocols, preventing the disease from spreading beyond the hospital. Tragically, Dr. Adadevoh contracted Ebola while treating the patient and died on August 19, 2014. Her actions saved countless lives and earned her posthumous recognition as a national hero. The Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust was established to honor her legacy and promote infection control. She exemplified medical professionalism and selfless service.
