{Another Ugandan-born doctor has died in the battle against the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia; hours after President Museveni hailed the medical personnel for exhibiting bravery in fighting the scourge that has so far sent shock waves across the world and threatened to crush economies in West Africa.}
Chimpreports understands that Dr John Taban Dada passed away on Thursday at an Ebola treatment centre in Monrovia.
The international media quoted Liberia Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah as saying the gynecologist and surgeon was buried immediately in accordance with policy about the quick interment of victims.
Trained and raised in Uganda, Dr. Dada served as the medical director of the Redemption Hospital in Monrovia from 2008 to 2013 before relocating to the country’s John F. Kennedy Memorial Center.
The Director General of Health Services Jane Aceng said Dada was not among the 20 health specialists dispatched by Kampala to reinforce authorities in West Africa in the war against Ebola.
