DRASA - Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust We promote hygiene and adequate sanitation, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s preparedness for health emergencies

DRASA Health Trust is a public health organization working with government, local and international partners, community leaders, students, and health workers to promote hygiene and adequate sanitation, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s preparedness for health emergencies. DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh. She identified and contained Nigeria's first Ebola patient despite pressure from a foreign government to release him - preventing a major outbreak in Africa's most populous country - but lost her life in the process. Through DRASA, we continue her legacy of protecting public health.

Sometimes, the road to impact feels long. But at DRASA, we’ve learned that people have the power to create lasting change.

In our 10 years of existence, we have witnessed ordinary community members become extraordinary catalysts, protecting their neighbors, raising their voices, and taking charge of their community’s health. Their simple but powerful slogan, “See something, say something,” doesn’t just inspire them; it inspires us to keep going.

This milestone belongs to all of us. A decade of protecting health. A decade of preventing infections. A decade of championing health, together with YOU.

We know this journey is only possible because of your unwavering support. Now, we invite you to celebrate with us and continue building a healthier, safer Nigeria.

At the 3rd International Research Center of Excellence (IRCE) Annual Scientific Symposium, DRASA showcased our impact on infectious disease prevention and innovation in drug resistance.

We shared how our Community Health Champion model strengthens grassroots surveillance, training local influencers and linking communities to real-time disease reporting.

Our Managing Director, Williams, also spotlighted DRASA’s bottom-up approach to tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), highlighting our youth-led initiatives like Youth PALLI and our AMR School Program, and DRASA’s support of the 5th Global High-Level Ministerial Conference on AMR in 2026 which Nigeria is hosting.

Who is your hero?

Yesterday, the DRASA team celebrated the launch of the Everyday Heroes Campaign at the Landmark Upside Down House. This initiative, conceptualized by the Landmark Upside Down House Lagos, aims to shine a light on Nigeria's true heroes, those who have sacrificed their lives and those who have spoken out for the good of the country.

The first edition featured Dr. Adadevoh, whose quick judgment facilitated effective contact tracing that helped reduce the spread of Ebola in Nigeria. The Upside Down House has been beautifully decorated to showcase her awards, her inspiring story, and the establishment of DRASA Health Trust.

Our Story

Our name (DRASA) is an abbreviation of Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh, the courageous doctor who diagnosed and contained the first case of Ebola in Nigeria though she had never seen an Ebola patient before. When threatened by Liberian officials who wanted the patient - a diplomat - to be discharged to attend a conference, she resisted the pressure and said, "for the greater public good" she would not release him. Her efforts prevented a major Ebola outbreak in Africa’s most populous country, but as a result she contracted the virus and lost her life.

DRASA was established to continue her legacy of protecting public health.
