Dr Musenero, an epidemiologist, was among the Ugandan doctors sent to West Africa to containthe deadly Ebola which has ravaged the region and left thousands dead and scores hospitalised.In early December, when she left Kenema, the area had reported no new infections. Dr Musenero says none of the 380 people they recruited into surveillance and monitoringteams was lost to Ebola. The community there recognised her as a Kornya, or female warrior, for her courage in attacking the disease from the front and contain it. It is the highest title that can be given to a woman, in theirculture. She was also named a paramount chief and given an area to rule.http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Ugandan-doctor-gets-hero-s-welcome-for-fight-against-Ebola/-/688334/2577798/-/14mwfh0z/-/index.htmlhttp://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/magazine/Ebola-warrior-leads-the-charge-in-Sierra-Leone/-/434746/2576176/-/rrosh5z/-/index.html���Gr\�� -- source link
