{Brother Patrick was not an American, so he was not offered the experimental US drug but neither were hundreds of other people who are in the process of dying from Ebola}
Brother Patrick Nshamdze, director of the St. Joseph’s hospital (Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God), in Monrovia (Liberia) died after contracting the Ebola virus. Brother Patrick was a native of Cameroon, he had studied in Rome for 2 years and was general director of the hospital in Monrovia.
“The authorities have isolated all public offices and also our hospital in order to carry out the operations of disinfestation”, says to Fides Agency Brother Pascal Ahodegnon, General councilor in charge of the African area of the Order. “Another of our confreres, of Spanish nationality, and two sisters have been hospitalized”.
Brother Pascal says that “Liberia is isolated but we continue to provide assistance with our facilities while our NGO is sending aid, which unfortunately is not enough to make up for all the needs”.
“As there is still no specific cure for Ebola what is needed are sanitizers, gloves and masks to protect healthcare workers as well as I.V’s and anticoagulant to rehydrate patients and stop bleeding. So far these are the only measures to try to prevent the disease from spreading”,
