ROME, Italy — An Italian doctor who caught Ebola in Sierra Leone has recovered from the disease and his antibodies are being sent back to west Africa to help combat the disease.
Italian health officials said the doctor, identified only as Fabrizio, will soon leave the Spallanazin hospital in Rome where he has been treated since November 25.
He contracted the deadly virus while working for the Italian charity Emergency, who have sent medical staff in Sierra Leone.
“A little more than a month ago, we asked ourselves would this extraordinary doctor survive. We have gone through some difficult moments in the meantime but today we can announced with satisfaction and pride that the patient is cured,” said Valerio Fabio Alberti, who runs the hospital. — Rappler.com
