Doctors suspend strike because of Ebola outbreak

Doctors serving in public hospitals on Thursday suspended their about five-week long strike in deference to the Ebola outbreak which has killed two people and infected five others in Lagos.

A statement from the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, says “the incursion of Ebola into Nigeria was a major reason for suspending the strike”

The emergence of Ebola in Lagos which is sub-Saharan Africa’s largest city with more than 20 million people has created further panic over the worst ever outbreak of the deadly tropical disease.
