French nurse Ebola patient leaves hospital

A French nurse, who contracted the deadly Ebola disease while volunteering in Liberia, has left hospital after being cured of the virus, reports said Saturday citing the French health minister.

The young French, brought back to France on Sept. 19, has been hospitalized in Begin Military Hospital near Paris, where she received “experimental treatment.”

The organization MSF expressed his “immense relief” after the ministry announcement.

According to MSF, since the beginning of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in March 2014, the medical and non-medical departments of health in the countries affected by the virus and NGOs that support them were widely exposed to the disease.

Thus, the number of medical personnel infected with the virus since the beginning of the Ebola epidemic was estimated to more than 373, of whom 208 did not survive. Since March 2014, 16 MSF staff have contracted the virus, nine of whom died.

    1. We keep hearing that there is no cure for Ebola. If that is true, the article should say that the nurse received extensive supportive care and simply recovered. There is a big difference.
