“Ugandan, Swiss, Nigerian”. The index #Ebola patient in #Nigeria has attracted unnecessary and stigmatising labels; it only fuels public anxiety, and stigma. See the labels.. “A Ugandan-born wife of a Swiss diplomat based in Abuja” “A Swiss national married to a diplomat” “A Swiss citizen and the Ugandan-born wife of a Swiss diplomat” “A Ugandan national married to a Swiss diplomat” “A Nigerian national holidaying in Uganda” “A Wife of a Swiss diplomat” “A Nigerian woman on a business trip to DRC but transited through Uganda” “A 42-year-old Ugandan woman” Can we all just stop this? Public officials with nothing verified to communicate, can you keep off? The precision of public information matters a lot. The personal identity of Nigeria’s index Ebola case provides zero medical value. In fact, potential patients will avoid testing to escape public trial. Ultimately, we will all pay the price.
