Nigeria Beyond Ebola

 and 

After Nigeria's successful fight against Ebola, President Goodluck Johnson has the opportunity to greatly improve the country's health-care system. The National Health Bill awaiting his signature would establish national standards, guarantee basic health care for all Nigerians, and cement his legacy ahead of elections in February.

ABUJA – When the World Health Organization declared that Nigeria had successfully eradicated the Ebola virus within its borders, there was loud global applause. Amid the cheers, however, few noticed a potentially even greater health milestone for Africa’s most populous country: the enactment of a new National Health Bill, which now awaits President Goodluck Jonathan’s signature.
