This comes after the World Health Organization and the Nigerian government approved the use of experimental treatments
Nigeria is set to receive samples of an experimental drug to treat the deadly Ebola disease today.
News of the development was disclosed by the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu.
The drug, named “Nanosilver”, is said to have been provided by a Nigerian in diaspora.
Canada yesterday promised to send 800-1000 samples of its own experimental drug to help battle the disease in Africa.
The World Health Organization said this week that the use of experimental drugs for Ebola is ethical while the Nigerian government authorized the use of such drugs yesterday.
