Plot
On 20 July 2014, Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American diplomat, arrives in Lagos, Nigeria. He was immediately taken to First Consultants Medical Center after suffering from worsening symptoms. One of his attending physicians, Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh, is concerned that he may have Ebola, even though Sawyer denies the suggestion; nevertheless, she decides to quarantine Sawyer and asks her staff to exercise caution when tending to him.
The next afternoon, the test results return, confirming that Sawyer has Ebola. Word travels quickly that there is a potential first caseof an Ebola patient in Lagos, and soon news organizations around the world began broadcasting the news. Nigeria immediately starts preparations for an Ebola epidemic.
Dr. Adadevoh meets with Dr. Wasiu Gbadamosi, who is in charge of the Yaba infectious disease facility, and Dr. David Brett-Major from the World Health Organization. She finds the Yasu facility is under-equipped to handle Ebola patients. On July 25, the physicians discover that Sawyer has died. The First Consultants Medical Center begins enhanced precautions and monitors its staff for signs and symptoms of Ebola.
The story centers on the sacrifices made by men and women who risked their lives to make sure the Ebola virus was contained, before it became an epidemic.
