Last week, TIME magazine bestowed it's beloved award of Person of the Year, not to an individual but to an entity. The Ebola Fighters were named 2014's Person of the Year for their “tireless acts of courage and mercy." Recipients include the many doctors, nurses, and numerous health care workers working to end the epidemic which has already claimed over 6,000 lives. The people in the field also included Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and the Samaritan Purse Christian medical relief team.
The epidemic, which initially wrecked havoc in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea eventually crossed international water with cases in the United States and Europe. The White House welcomed the TIME magazine award as a tribute to the "heroism and selflessness" of countless health care workers."The administration, including the president, could not be prouder of the brave men and women who've committed themselves to this effort in a foreign land," said spokesman Josh Earnest.
TIME Magazine Ebola covers
The resilience, tirelessness, and dedication of The Ebola Fighters is unrelenting and under appreciated. Fighting a disease which could (and did) easily claim their own lives, the health care workers put their own well being aside to take care of individuals and even entire families. We must also not forget the ambulance drives and burial teams who also aided in providing care and peace to thousands.
The war against Ebola is not over and the global health system is not as strong as previously perceived. Those who are not on the front line can still help, by supporting organizations fighting in Ebola stricken countries like The Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. Monetary contributions, supplies and even prayer are welcome. We are grateful to the Ebola fighters as TIME magazine stated, "For tireless acts of courage and mercy, for buying the world time to boost its defenses, for risking, for persisting, for sacrificing and saving".

Health wise, I feel like a child dancing in the rain ever since I got cured of hepatitis. I was diagnosed of HEPATITIS B and I was told it has no cure at the hospital, but I was given several antiviral medications to slow the virus’s ability to damage liver. But after sometime the medicine wasn't working and I became very sick with different symptoms like: vomiting, fatigue, dark urine, swollen stomach and so on. I went back to the hospital and I was told it has become chronic with liver problem, and out of frustration I went online to search for something new to try, and I came across Dr. IYABIYE's recommendation, I gave it a try hence it's a herbal medicine. And behold, I was cured after the treatment. I have to wait for months then went back to the hospital and still I was tested negative. You too will be cured.

ReplyDeleteI would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
