OCTOBER 1ST,2014: New York Times - Nigeria’s Actions Seem to Contain Ebola Outbreak (Front Page). US Center for Disease Control Gives Credit to Health Ministry's Coordinated Effort..

Excerpts: 

With quick and coordinated action by some of its top doctors, Nigeria, Africa’s

most populous country, appears to have contained its first Ebola outbreak, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

As the epidemic rages out of control in three nations only a few hundred miles away, Nigeria is the only country to have beaten back an outbreak with the potential to harm many victims in a city with vast, teeming slums.

The chief of the command center, Dr. Faisal Shuaib, gave credit to a coordinated effort by the Health Ministry, the C.D.C., the World Health Organization, Unicef, Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee for the Red Cross.

Also, he noted, Nigeria has significant advantages over poorer countries where the outbreak is out of control.

Nigeria’s success shows how important preparation is, said Dr. Frieden.
