Public sector doctors on Thursday suspended a nearly five-week long strike over an Ebola outbreak which has killed two people and infected five others in Lagos.
A statement from the Nigeria Medical Association listed “the incursion of Ebola into Nigeria” as a main reason for suspending the strike.
The emergence of Ebola in Lagos, 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.
