DRASA - Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust

DRASA - Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust Founded in memory of Dr Ameyo Stella Adadevoh. DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh.

We are developing a network of Health Champions who are catalysts of change while also working with federal, state and local institutions to shape public policy and institutionalise disease prevention. 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. 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.

Healthcare Should Heal, Not Harm.

Every time infection prevention protocols are ignored, patients and health workers are put at risk. Healthcare-associated infections don’t just prolong hospital stays, they increase antibiotic use and fuel drug-resistant infections like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Infection Prevention and Control is not optional.
It is lifesaving.

🧼 Hand hygiene.
🧴 Proper use of PPE.
🧽 Routine cleaning and disinfection.

Simple actions. Powerful impact.

Safe facilities protect patients.
Safe practices protect health workers.
Strong IPC protects our future.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest threats to global health today, and many people don’t even realize it.

When antimicrobials are misused or overused, they stop working. That means common infections become harder to treat, medical procedures become riskier, and lives are put at danger.

AMR affects everyone. But together, we can slow it down.

✔ Only use antibiotics when prescribed
✔ Complete your full dose
✔ Never self-medicate
✔ Practice good hygiene

Protect our medicines today. Protect lives tomorrow.

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.
