How Babalawo Caused Ebola Outbreak In Sierra-Leone-Health Workers

 

Some health workers in Sierra-Leone  have blamed the outbreak of the Ebola Virus on a female herbalist who claimed to have power to heal people of the disease.

 

Mohamed Vandi, a top medical official in the district of Kenema said when the disease broke out in Guinea, many Guineans crossed the border into Sierra-Leone, to visit the female herbalist who lived in the eastern border village of Sokoma. read it below:

  “She was claiming to have powers to heal Ebola. Cases from Guinea were crossing into Sierra Leone for treatment.  

She got infected and died. During her funeral, women around the other towns got infected. The herbalist’s mourners fanned out across the rolling hills of the Kissi tribal chiefdoms, starting a chain reaction of infections, deaths, funerals and more infections.”
