An Ebola survivor and an
official of the First Consultant Medical Centre, Lagos, Dr. Ada Igonoh, on
Tuesday gave birth to a baby girl in the United States of America. According to the
management of the FCMC, the baby girl is healthy and has been certified Ebola
free by doctors at the Greater El-Monte Community Hospital in California, US.
FCMC,
in a statement on Tuesday, noted that Igonoh was under medical surveillance
during her pregnancy and delivery to ensure that her child was born free of the
viral infection.
The
virus, according to some medics, can stay in a victim’s semen or body system
many months after contracting the disease.
