A 22-year-old Liberian woman saved the lives of her 3 family members, who contracted the deadly Ebola virus.
Fatu Kekula
Fatu Kekula nursed her father, mother, sister and cousin, taking care of them all by herself: feeding, cleaning and giving drugs, CNN reports.
Unfortunately her cousin lost the fight against the tropical virus.

Miraculously, Fatu did not get infected even despite the fact that she had no protective ammunition. It is none of a secret that health workers contacting the patients are in the risk group. More than 300 medical staff representatives contracted the EVD.

The young woman, who is a final year student of a nursing school, used her self-made equipment while taking care of the patients. International aid workers heard about the so-called “trash bag method”and even teach it to West Africans affected by the epidemic and lacking the protective gear.
