Nigerian peacekeeper cured of Ebola in Netherlands


A Nigerian United Nations peacekeeper
infected with Ebola and brought to the
Netherlands for treatment has been cured, the
Dutch authorities said on Friday.
“The Nigerian patient who was admitted on
December 6 has been cured of Ebola,” the
Dutch public health institute RIVM said in a
statement.
The soldier was infected while working as a
peacekeeper battling the deadly disease in
Liberia.

He was flown to the Netherlands at the
request of the World Health Organisation in a
specially equipped plane and treated at the
university hospital in central city Utrecht.
He was the first Ebola patient to be treated in
the Netherlands and will stay at a military
hospital until he can return home, the RIVM
said.
Ebola has killed more than 6,900 people,
almost all of them in west Africa.
Liberia tops the number of fatalities at 3,290
deaths but Sierra Leone earlier this month
overtook it as the country with the most
infections.
