DRASA - Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust We promote hygiene and adequate sanitation, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s preparedness for health emergencies

DRASA Health Trust is a public health organization working with government, local and international partners, community leaders, students, and health workers to promote hygiene and adequate sanitation, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s preparedness for health emergencies. DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh. She identified and contained Nigeria's first Ebola patient despite pressure from a foreign government to release him - preventing a major outbreak in Africa's most populous country - but lost her life in the process. Through DRASA, we continue her legacy of protecting public health.

A resilient health system starts with informed communities and local health authorities. Mrs. Adebola is a Disease Surveillance and Notification Officer (DSNO) who is actively promoting community surveillance in her area.

She explains that before DRASA's intervention, community members were mostly not aware of the existence of DSNOs, nor their role in the community. However, as a result of the efforts of the DSNOs, community members not only became informed but also collaborated with them, actively reporting suspected cases of diseases and enhancing neighborhood vigilance against outbreaks.

Mrs. Adebola's story is one of the many impactful stories highlighted in our 10th Anniversary documentary.

Infectious diseases are a significant concern worldwide, and AIDS is no exception.

AIDS is not a death sentence and can be effectively managed if diagnosed early and treated appropriately.

This disease can be prevented through the following measures:
✅ Practice safe sexual in*******se
✅ Get tested regularly to know your status
✅ Avoid sharing sharp objects
✅ Use only screened blood for transfusions
✅ Strengthen infection prevention and control measures to prevent transmission

Together, we can prevent the spread of AIDS.

Our Story

Our name (DRASA) is an abbreviation of Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, the courageous doctor who diagnosed and contained the first case of Ebola in Nigeria though she had never seen an Ebola patient before. When threatened by Liberian officials who wanted the patient - a diplomat - to be discharged to attend a conference, she resisted the pressure and said, "for the greater public good" she would not release him. Her efforts prevented a major Ebola outbreak in Africa’s most populous country, but as a result she contracted the virus and lost her life.

DRASA was established to continue her legacy of protecting public health.
