Fatu Kekula, Liberia's national hero during operation Kick Ebola Out. At the age of 22, this Liberian nurse creatively treated four (4) Ebola cases, with three (3) of her patients also surviving. Fatu never imagined how critical her nurs...ing training would become until her family was struck with the Ebola virus. Despite providing her patients with constant care, Fatu never contracted the disease herself due to her innovative "trash bag method." Now, aid workers are teaching Fatu's techniques to other West Africans who don't have access to hospitals or standard protective gear as a way to protect themselves as they care for their sick loved ones.
